How to
build a thriving workplace culture by integrating recognition and leveraging
the power of symbols
The
past three years have prompted us to re-evaluate our lives in very meaningful
ways – finding fulfilment in what we do or seeking more opportunities to
connect with each other. As workplaces continue to evolve, we are seeing
the impact of these changes in HR & workplace strategies first-hand across
many organisations. In an exclusive interaction with Zubin Zack,
Managing Director, South Asia, Middle East and Africa, O.C. Tanner, we
discovered some promising ways to build a culture where employees can thrive.
Recognition is the most underleveraged leadership tool. It is not only
cost-effective but also can bring about the most significant organisational
changes. When a recognition moment happens, the the receiver, giver and
audience feel the impact. They all feel valued and a part of the workplace
community. Therefore, in my opinion, it is common sense to incorporate
recognition as a part of everyday life. On the contrary generic recognition, or
when it is impersonal, can have the opposite impact. There are
underlying discoveries which will make it challenging for any organisation to
achieve a high level of integrated recognition culture, especially memories of
recognition experiences from prior workplaces as they have a profound and
enduring influence. Symbols are
impactful. Symbolism has the power to build connections. When a career
recognition experience includes a symbolic award, it increases the employee’s
connection with their team, leader, and organisation. Our research says that
employees are three times more likely to remember a recognition experience when
it includes a symbolic award. Read O.C. Tanner’s Global Culture Report
2023 to get more insights on the eight key measurements for achieving a high
level of integrated recognition.
