Why Top-Down Recognition Isn’t Enough + The Benefits of Peer Recognition

Why Top-Down Recognition Isn’t Enough + The Benefits of Peer Recognition | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it

Barry Deutsch's insight:

I just had this conversation today with a group of CEOs in my webinar on Managing Remotely in a Crisis. I was recommending that the companies should implement a peer-to-peer recognition system in addition to their other methods of showing appreciation.

40 Different Ways to Say Thank You at Work | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it
Saying thank you is one of the easiest and best forms of employee recognition in the workplace. Here are forty ways to say thank you at work.
Barry Deutsch's insight:

I recently posted an article on LinkedIn in my Retention Hot Tip Series about giving praise. This article complements my blog post with other tactics of saying thank you.

B2B: Using Gamification to Grow Employee Engagement and to Encourage a Culture of Employee Recognition | Retain Top Talent | Scoop.it

I've been exploring how gamification might work in areas like referrals, but had not yet considered it around employee engagement and recognition. Interesting comparison to LinkedIn's gamification strategy of trying to get you to complete your profile.
