The Mental Health Commission of Canada is raising awareness around the 13 psychosocial factors that can impact the mental health of employees in the workplace. Did you know that “Recognition and Reward” is one of the 13 psychosocial factors? Giving recognition helps to create a Healthy Workplace around us!
Have you ever thought about how receiving recognition makes you feel? What about the type of recognition you enjoy receiving? Public or Private? Verbal or Written? There are many factors that influence the form of recognition you prefer to receive: past experiences, personality, the generation in which you were born, etc.
Have you ever stopped to think about how you give recognition? Do you customize it to the recipient? Do you give it often enough? Do you give it in a timely manner?
Taking notice of colleagues by giving recognition is the gift that keeps giving! Both supervisors and colleagues appreciate receiving it, and can help make it contagious! Sign-up for the Recognition and Appreciation Workshop with Organizational Development this year, and discover how to:
