Rewards and recognition can play a critical role in increasing employee engagement. They motivate employees to perform better and foster a positive work culture that values hard work and dedication. Here are some ways leaders can use rewards and recognition to increase employee engagement:
Individual Recognition: Recognize individual achievements regularly. This can include acknowledging an employee's hard work during a team meeting or a company-wide newsletter or presenting awards for excellent performance. Employees who see their efforts are appreciated will likely be more engaged and committed to their work.
