While I agree with the article that “flexible work arrangements, strong support from leadership, and collaborative environments” are huge parts of what makes an organization a great place to work, I’d argue that believing in the mission is first and foremost.

Recognition goes beyond the individual—it creates a ripple effect throughout the entire company. When employees feel valued and appreciated for the work and behaviors that align with company values, it not only drives engagement, boosts morale, and fosters a positive workplace culture but also reinforces those behaviors. This motivates employees to continue exhibiting these positive actions, creating a cycle of continuous improvement and alignment with organizational goals. At Vantage Circle, we've seen firsthand how recognizing and valuing employees can strengthen team dynamics and drive organizational success. Our platform is designed to help companies achieve this by providing the tools to acknowledge efforts, celebrate milestones, and cultivate an environment where employees thrive. For the HR leaders and professionals in my network, the benefits of a robust R&R system are profound. It’s not just about giving awards; it's about creating a culture of recognition that aligns with your company's values and drives sustained engagement and performance. If you’re curious about how our platform can drive similar results in your company, I'd love to arrange a quick discussion to understand your unique needs and demonstrate how our solutions align with them. We also offer our proprietary AIRe assessment to help you evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of your current R&R platform. A heartfelt thank you to my incredible team and supportive management at Vantage Circle for believing in me. Let's continue to make workplaces better, one recognition at a time! #EmployeeRecognition #EmployeeEngagement #VantageCircle #WorkplaceCulture #HR #SaaS #RewardsAndRecognition #HRTech #EmployeeExperience #Leadership #CompanyCulture #FutureOfWork #PeopleAnalytics #HRStrategy #EmployeeWellbeing #TalentManagement

Why the engagement questions in your annual company survey are not enough to measure team performance.... You may have seen that we've recently launched our Human Connection Performance Index. The index focuses on four parts of human connection that are proven to correlate with high performance and teams. These elements are; Belonging, Care, Hope and Energy. It's an index because it starts with a team assessment that provides the metrics and insights on these critical drivers, which we then use with the team to explore how they thrive together. Swipe across 👆🏻➡️ to learn more about the key metrics that matter to measure team performance. And if you're interested in finding out more on how you can work with the WDI Consulting Limited team to create high performing and thriving teams within your organisation, send a DM to Clare Russell or Angela Rixon. #HumanConnection #Metrics #TeamPerformance #ThrivingAtWork

As we get back to work on this first workday of the New Year we have an opportunity to start fresh. To use both the symbolic and strategic nature of a new year to energize ourselves and our teams. Why not start this year with a commitment to team and employee recognition? As this report published by Gallup and Workhuman demonstrates such a commitment is not only good for the employees but for the bottom line and overall performance of the organization as well. The report also provides some concrete suggestions for embedding a culture of recognition in our organizations. As we know, nonprofits and purpose-driven organizations struggle disproportionately with staff retention and motivation. And often have fewer resources to address this with extrinsic rewards such as salary and benefits. As the report shows, recognition in and of itself has significant intrinsic value that positively affects motivation, enjoyment, a sense of belonging and inclusion, and organizational connectiveness resulting in lower employee turnover, higher productivity, and better compliance with safety standards. Employee recognition is also associated with a stronger connection to the organization’s goals and mission. Committing to a culture of recognition seems like a positive way to kick off 2024 with our teams. Perhaps even find time this week to recognize individual and team efforts from 2023 while reiterating the goals for 2024.
