In the workplace, recognition can come in many forms, from formal awards or bonuses to more informal gestures like a ‘good job’ ping from a manager. Whatever form it takes, recognition is a powerful tool that can boost employee morale, motivation, and performance.
Our workplace relationships can have a deep impact on our professional and personal lives. Studies show that strong social connections at work can lead to increased job satisfaction and motivation, lower stress levels, and even better physical health.
For a lot of us, a great work experience includes feeling like we’re in an environment where we can truly thrive. It’s about feeling supported by our colleagues, encouraged to grow and develop, and feeling like we’re able to do our best work without constantly worrying about judgment.
