This morning I read this very insigtful article on IndustryWeek titled, "Making the Case for Employee Recognition in Tough Times." Frankly, the headline speaks for itself, but here's some interesting data presented in the article:
The article went on to point out that only about half of all companies have a recognition policy in place. Yikes! In looking at the data, how can you (companies) afford not to! Through very little effort, companies can engage their workforce and improve business, rather than be a drain on productivity and morale.
As internal communications professionals, you're should be involved in your company's employee recognition programs. You are the conduit for getting the word out to the company of the great job your employees are doing every day.
With digital signage, you have the ability to put a face to employee recognition. As quickly as you can snap a photo (or record a video), download it to your computer, and upload it to your network, you can revitalize a dead employee recognition program. You have the ability to broadcast to your entire facility or campus through your digital signage network (1) who did it, (2) what they did, and, most importantly, (3) how it impacts the business.
All in an instant. So this begs an earlier question. Can you afford not to?
