○ Almost half of U.S. workers (46%) left a job because they
felt unappreciated. Another 65% of respondents said they
would work harder if they felt like their contributions were
noticed by management (Bonusly).
○ When employees believe management will recognize them,
they are 2.7 times more likely to be highly engaged. 37% of
those surveyed said that more appreciation would motivate
them to produce better work more often (Quantum
Workplace).
Why does it matter?
○ Employee engagement, productivity, and performance
are 14% higher in organizations with recognition
programs than those without. (Deloitte).
○ “68% of HR professionals agreed that employee
recognition positively impacts retention, while 56%
said it also helps with recruitment.” (SHRM)
