Managers and higher-level folks see the daily above-and-beyond efforts and reward them on the spot. Moments of celebration don’t fall through the cracks and employees are less likely to feel overlooked. Wide-reaching and holistic, social recognition instills a sense of appreciation and acknowledgment at every level of a company. Social recognition, or peer-to-peer recognition, is the act of employees empowering and acknowledging one another for great work. It is a meaningful source of motivation and, when it’s a company habit, it becomes the backbone of an inclusive and collaborative working environment. It allows anyone in the company to share experiences, award achievements, and extend congratulations. The result is a sense of belonging, purpose, and achievement throughout the workforce. Social recognition gives everyone visibility into the great work happening around the company.
