At the end of the fiscal year, it's common for organizations to acknowledge staff members who've given 10, 15 or even 20 years to the company. Each employee usually receives the same plaque, handshake and five-minute speech slot. Their years of service diminished to one anti-climatic moment.
This scenario is a reality for many companies, as only 46% of employees rate their leaders and managers above average in providing recognition. Organizations looking to improve employee engagement need to build a culture of appreciation and awards.
