Effective Recognition
Have you ever wondered why several top advertising agencies have created separate divisions just for INTERNAL marketing communications in larger corporations? Talk with Fern about how this matters to you and your success.
EFFECTIVE RECOGNITION begins with the first contact a prospective employee has with your organization.
When they walk through the doors of your company, they will feel the energy of who you are. The building itself (lighting-floors-office décor-the air we breathe-the colors around us-windows-even the outside appearance) and the initial contacts with personnel all communicate a message to the people we invite to carry out our missions, visions and goals for success. How people are greeted and treated as they join your team effects how they feel about a partnership for excellence and success within.
Fern believes that EFFECTIVE RECOGNITION is an ongoing, multi -dimensional process that drives alignment, engagement, and high performance of people at all levels of an organization. We communicate through multiple channels to let people know they matter, to reinforce the contributions they make to the goals and culture of our organizations. What leaders, managers, and peers say pave the way for strategy and process to work.
If you believe that great companies are built on committed, happy, reinforced, and capable employees that share a high purpose, then we have something in common. We are in the company of great leaders and thinkers such as Herzberg, Maslow, Scanlon, Deming, Dupree, Drucker, Kouzes, Sinek, Blanchard, Peters, Semler, Townsend, Glanz, and more!
Recognition and Appreciation for a job well done have proven to be significant factors to the success and profitability of great organizations. This has been reinforced by the success and profitability of The 100 Best Places To Work repeatedly.
What are the secrets of the 100 Best Places To Work listed on Wall Street? They continuously outperform the norm by 5 times because they focus on things that matter to the people in their organizations. Purpose, knowledge, respect, recognition, information, continuous learning, cultural values, authentic communication, and flexibility are just a few of the ways they stay on top.
Getting the message where it counts – when it counts effectively is what sets the best apart from the rest.
Do you recognize 100% of the people in your organization at least 25 times a year?
What spontaneous, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, Informal/Formal recognition tools are you creating to COMMUNICATE and REINFORCE excellence?
How do you recognize people? In Person? (individual – small group – large group) Hand-written? Customized to the individual? Social Recognition Apps? Video?
Effective Recognition and Communications are closely aligned with your mission, vision, culture, processes for continuous performance improvement already in place. They are further enhanced by:
- The level of training of managers as effective leaders/coaches
- The ongoing training of employees for new responsibilities
- Integrating new technologies into your processes
- Alignment with a Culture of Respect and Value
- Transparency
- A PURPOSE that makes a difference
- A Leader who is TRUSTED
After all, if you make enough people successful you cannot help but achieve the success you have set forth to attain. It’s an ongoing, ever-changing process and anything is possible!
