Wellbeing is a universal need of employees. And for organisations, it is a high-stakes foundation to organisational outcomes. Wellbeing (or lack there of) influences outcomes with serious price tags, including hindering employee productivity and engagement as well as leading to burn out and employee turnover. Yet few leaders realise the power they wield to amplify wellbeing at work and beyond. In workplaces globally, one of the most effective and affordable wellbeing strategies is woefully untapped: employee recognition .Recognition does more than fuel employee wellbeing: It promotes amore positive outlook and mitigates burnout. In fact, recognition can spark cultural transformation and help workplaces achieve exceptional performance while improving employees’ lives overall. And it’s one of the simplest tactics at leaders’ fingertips.
