How do I recognize thee, let me count the ways

Motivation is the inner force that directs, energizes, and sustains employees’ efforts toward their goals1. Since employees’ accomplishment of their goals leads to the success of a business, it is no wonder organizations are keen to find effective ways to increase employees’ motivation. Recognition is widely accepted as an essential component of motivation2. In over 40 years of motivation surveys, recognition consistently appears as a top motivator alongside other factors such as good pay and job security3. In this paper, the IBM Smarter Workforce Institute (SWI) explores the role of recognition in employee engagement (see Appendix A for definition of employee engagement) and retention, and how the use of multiple communication channels could enhance the power of recognition. With data from SWI’s recent WorkTrendsTM survey, the paper provides insight into the potential impact of frequent, timely, multi-channel employee recognition.
