How Do You Measure Up?
How Do You Measure Up?
"Do you focus on what matters most? Ask yourself whether the people you work with value the recognition that you already give. Have you developed mutual trust, respect, and loyalty with them? How about the rest of the organization? Does it measure up? Do employees throughout the organization value the relationships that they have with their managers, their coworkers, and with the organization in general? Recognition that works has more to do with trust, respect, loyalty, and creating strong relationships than it does with contests, programs, or awards. Without healthy working relationships, recognition is meaningless. It is up to you to create an atmosphere of trust, respect, and loyalty where recognition can thrive (Ventrice, 2003, p. 45-46)."
