The Fruit of Happy Employees
The success of any business mostly leans on the motivation of its employees. But there is no exact formula to determine how to motivate any particular team of people because we are human and we are all motivated by different things. Creating an employee recognition system is not only a great way to encourage your employees or team to go beyond what is expected of them, but it can increase productivity and is a cool way to spotlight someone with a sincere award. Still, there are some key concepts to keep in mind when developing a plan to motivate employees or team members within your business.
Recognition programs are nothing new, but you should strive to make your recognition system different from all the rest. You've got to know that employee recognition is a planned strategy that should be in place before your business brings on employees or team members. Recognition has to be consistent and your team should be aware of the benefits of being recognized. It’s time to stop seeing employee recognition as a “nicety” to a necessity.
5 ways to provide recognition for your team
Consistent Employee Evaluations - Give goals that can be measured and achieved and remember to stay consistent with the process.
Peer Recognition - Get your team involved and maybe have two awards given, one from management and another from the team.
Team Testimonials - Share stories from your employees that highlight any achievements that have happened out in the field or tactics that boosted sales, etc.
Have an Annual Award Ceremony - Have an event with awards that encompass a “yearly” theme like Employee of the Year, etc.
Give Unexpected Praise - Spotlight those efforts of employees or team members that go above and beyond the call-of-duty.
Onward and Upward!

Unexpected praise can go a long way. People like to know they are seen as more than just cogs in the wheel of their enterprise. Little notes of appreciation mean so much.
