When an employee recognition program is effectively rolled out it can have a big impact on a company's bottom line.
According to the Hay Group, a global consulting firm, “Our research into employee engagement has shown that companies with the most engaged employees report revenue growth at a rate 2.5X greater than their competitors with the lowest level of engagement.”
Best selling author and recognition expert Dr Bob Nelson shares that organizations which have a ‘culture of recognition’ have employees that are:
5X times more likely to feel valued
7X more likely to stay with their company
6X more likely to invest in their company
11X more likely to feel completely committed to their jobs
Increase employee engagement: when employees are recognized for living a company value they feel appreciated and more connected to the organization’s mission and purpose. Employee engagement can lift by more than 25% when employees are recognized for living core values.
Decrease voluntary employee turnover: according to the SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) one of the most common reasons employees quit is due to a lack of recognition; an effective employee recognition program can lower voluntary by up to 30%.
