Daily Document Update: HR Compliance Library, ¶46,168, Number of companies with no employee recognition programs is growing, annual survey shows - SURVEY RESULTS, (Jun. 21, 2019)

摘要

The “2019 Trends in Employee Recognition Survey” conducted by WorldatWork with underwriting support from Maritz Motivation reveals the vast majority of companies are recognizing employee accomplishments both informally and increasingly, through a formal company-wide program. But the survey shows that while there is an increase in deeply-embedded recognition programs (17 percent in 2019 compared to 10 percent in 2015), there is also an increase in companies who say they have no employee recognition policy, strategy or philosophy (19 percent in 2019 compared to 12 percent in 2015). The survey aimed to identify new and continuing trends into why, how often and how employees are recognized. To motivate high performance, create/maintain a positive work environment and increase engagement were all popular reasons for recognition; 24 percent used recognition to support a culture of change at their organizations, the survey found. Some tried and true practices—like rewarding employees for length of service, celebrating the employee of the month, and rewards of watches, trophies and plaques and certificates—are popular incentives. The survey respondents agreed that while their programs are doing a fairly good job of meeting goals, there is definite room for improvement. Only 18 percent said they are definitely meeting their goals.
