Encouraging and identifying Individual Achievements

Introduction

Employee morale is a term that is often used loosely by professionals and laypeople. Morale refers to employees' shared attitudes toward and identification with the elements of their job, working conditions, fellow workers, supervisors, and general management. As a group-level term, morale is akin to the affective climate of an organization. Although morale is often equated with intrinsic job satisfaction averaged across a work group, department, or organization, more technical definitions posit that morale refers to a summary evaluation of a broader range of job-related attitudes (e.g., organizational commitment, employee loyalty, job involvement, employee engagement, and employee well-being). Whereas some of the evaluations an employee expresses toward the organization are unique to him or herself, members of one's work group may have similar views as a result of sharing common experiences at work. These shared perceptions tend to be reinforced and maintained by the group. Hence, morale is often influenced by factors present in the work environment that are common to all employees in the group or organization.(Rousseau, 2007, 4)

Recognition doesn't have to be a perplexing process. It can start with a simple and sincere “thank you." Many employees worth a authentic “thank you” at the right instant more than other forms of acknowledgement that take location months later. As William James one time said, “The deepest standard in human environment is the craving to be appreciated.”

Employee acknowledgement is also about accepting their accomplishments publicly, inside the group or business, so that other employees and the administration are cognizant of their results.(Griffith, 2009, 1627) Public acknowledgement is beneficial not only for the employees who are being identified but also for other employees who can then find their inspiration to accomplish more too.
