Employee recognition is often traditionally limited to the annual financial bonuses given away to the workers at the time of Christmas. If you are also following the same approach, you should know that it is the most outdated one. While there is no wonder your employees will be more than happy to receive the year end bonus, most organisations today are moving towards more planned recognition schemes. These schemes are active all over the year and are not just limited to the Christmas time. The idea behind such schemes is to keep the employees pushing throughout the year and strive towards achieving them consistently.
