In today’s changing workforce culture, where transformation continues with the growth of the employees, every employee looks for a company with a clear purpose and mission. They want to be a part of an organization where they can express their opinion freely and receive high-level feedback. They can thus understand if and how they are making an impact in accomplishing their company’s goals.

Typically, to keep employees highly engaged, we deal separately with our employee recognition and communication approach. Recognition, though, must be ongoing and genuine and part of the flow of human interaction amongst your team members. It creates authentic ownership of your culture and purpose because your employees publicly acknowledge and reinforce your company values.

Communication, just like recognition, shouldn’t only come from top-bottom. Providing peer-to-peer communication makes your organization more transparent and gives visibility to those who want to share their successes and innovation and receive feedback.
