Recognition is a function of management. If a manager is truly engaged in the day-to-day activities of a team, that manager can (and will) naturally recognize work properly.
The problem however is that for whatever reason, management isn't as effective as it should be. A function of time, burn out, or simple inadequacies, if people are leaving a job because they aren't recognized, chances are good that they would also say their manager wasn't very good at his or her job.
- lancewiggs 16y agoIt's something we all need to do - not just "management." A great company culture will, almost as a byproduct, see people genuinely complementing each other on great work, and supporting each other to do even better work. There is no us and them.
- bmj 16y agoThis is something my employer has instituted--any employee has the ability to call out another employee for a job well done. This is on top of an employee of the month program. Upper management takes this program very seriously (the award is a reasonable bonus, plus the winners for the year are given the opportunity to win an expenses-paid weekend vacation. This program is driven by employees as well--upper management cannot vote. I'm not particularly driven by this sort of recognition, but it is comforting to know that folks genuinely want to reward others for a job well-done.
