Employee recognition is the acknowledgement of a person's or a team's behavior, effort, or business result that supports the organization's goals and values.

There are many reasons why employee recognition is so important if you wish to continue to build a great business. Employee recognition can reduce turnover, improve team culture, and increase performance. It can also engage employees in more meaningful relationships with organizations, and encourage them in adopting particular attitudes that enhance customer retention, and increase safety in the workplace.

It does not matter the industry and the type of workplace, an employee recognition program can motivate and inspire employees.
