Motivation can quickly dwindle if results and achievements are not recognized. This is a common experience, but it needs particular attention in the workplace. As motivation declines, so does engagement, which can make it more challenging to retain employees. But a well-thought-out, effective recognition system can help with more than just these issues. It has a positive impact on company culture, improves employee morale, and strengthens relationships and community. Let's take a look at what a good recognition system looks!
