Everyone likes to get a pat on the back from time to time and hear that they're doing a respectable job. Taking the time to acknowledge employee performance with trophies and awards is an excellent way to help your staff feel valued, appreciated, and essential to the overall success of the business. Below are a few psychological benefits employees enjoy when you recognize them.

The Positive Effects of Workplace Appreciation

1. Job Satisfaction

An employee whose boss acknowledges their work often feels much more pride in their daily responsibilities and in the finished product or service they provide. An increase in satisfaction means that workers are invested in both their jobs and their workplaces. For employers, this can result in lower turnover rates and a reputation as a business that treats its workers with respect and gratitude.

2. Sense of Purpose

When an employee's contributions to a business go unrecognized, they may feel lost in the shuffle, like they don't have a place or a purpose within the larger organization. By distinguishing employees with trophies and awards, you help them find where they fit in and give them purpose in their jobs. You also remind them that they’re vital to the team and bring unique qualities and talents to the table.

3. Professional Growth & Development

Trophies and awards ensure that employees see the distinctive contributions they make, which, in turn, can inspire them to continue their professional growth and development. With a newfound sense of purpose, they may discover their true calling at work. This can encourage staff to seek promotions or positions with increased responsibility, or it could motivate them to continue their education or training to secure a different job within the company.
