Professional Recognition: Good Practices for your HR department

Recognizing teams and employees in the workplace is essential for organizations that value their human capital. After all, companies are made up of people, but these people need to feel that the place where they work and dedicate their days really sees this effort. That's why implementing professional recognition actions should be one of the objectives of any HR department. 

‍

Employees who feel recognized are more likely to be engaged and satisfied. Consequently, they will put more energy into their goals, help the company achieve better results and even reduce turnover. 

‍

On the other hand, if they don't feel valued and recognized, they may quickly look for other opportunities. Throughout this article you'll find some tips and ideas for ensuring professional recognition in your company.

4 tips to show your company's professional recognition

There are many ways to show teams that your organization cares about their professional recognition. Here are a few:

‍

1. Career planA career plan is a structured way of moving up the company ladder by recognizing the results of your work. Generally organized through targets, it is one of the best ways to demonstrate professional recognition;
2. Feedback meetings: everyone wants to know their strengths and areas for improvement, both technical and behavioral. Feedback (whenever possible on a monthly basis) is an excellent way of demonstrating what the employee is doing well and what needs to be improved so that they can move up to the next level;
3. Bonuses and monetary recognition: did you hit your targets? Achieved a major objective in an important project? Why not recognize this employee with a bonus, some extra money at the end of that period that shows how important their contribution to the organization has been? 
4. Praise: it may sound simple, but praise is also an excellent way of ensuring professional recognition. In the middle of a busy day, receiving a positive message about something you've done shows that the company is paying attention to your work and really recognizes you.
