A positive Manager employee relationship in an organisation plays a pivotal role in overall engagement and low turnover. Empowering Leaders with the right tools to become authentic Managers goes a long way in enhancing the Manager employee relationship.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In PwC Australia\u2019s Future of Work<\/a> outlook found the ability to build and maintain relationships in the workplace has been compromised and impacts the overall experience in the workplace. Someone might join for the pay or that promotion but stay because of their networks and relationships. In Gallup\u2019s global survey<\/a>, measuring the engagement of 27 million employees, it concluded that one in two employees have left a job to get away from a manager.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receiving praise from a leader goes a long way in feeling appreciated for the effort that we are putting in. Recognition with a personal comment from a leader has a material impact on the level of commitment and intensity of that commitment. Adding discretionary award points magnifies that impact and empowers leaders to give meaningful rewards<\/a> to their team members. DayMaker<\/a> is our comprehensive employee recognition online platform, offering a comprehensive range of modules in recognition, nominations, rewards, learning, gamification, incentives and much more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On The Spot (OTS) cards\u202fare<\/a> a great way to reinforce an observed behaviour. OTS cards are physical cards containing points that are handed to recipients. Some common behaviours are project milestones or project completion, holiday giving and appreciation, or a thank you gesture. It brings in an element of surprise and delight to the recognition experience while keeping it meaningful. Awarded points can be redeemed for a wide array of rewards including\u202fmerchandise, travel, and\u202fexperiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lines between work and personal have blurred, with many of us working from home and giving our co-workers glimpses of our pets, children and dining rooms that double as desks. Those lines continue to intersect as many companies have a work from anywhere policy or an established hybrid model.
