How to create a successful employee recognition programme

Generally, organisations think they are doing a good job of engaging and recognising their employees. BI WORLDWIDE’s research tells us that only 52% of employees are recognised in their first year of employment and 35% of new hires are planning to leave in the next 12 months. Those who are recognised are 2.1x more likely to stay.

In this article, we’ll explain how you can implement an effective employee recognition programme that helps to retain staff and enhance productivity.
