ORGANIZATIONS DON’T NEED TO BE HUGE
TO MAKE MAJOR INROADS IN CULTIVATING HEALTHY
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE. THE GAINS ARE NOT JUST
NOTORIETY, BUT GETTING THE BEST FROM TALENT, WHICH
ALSO TRANSLATES INTO HEALTHY BOTTOM LINES.
So what can we do if we don’t work for
a top-ranked company? We can start by
recognizing those around us, regardless
of our role. We can ask people how they
want to be recognized. We can use what
they say and the methods most commonly
valued as often as possible. We can tell
others how we want to be recognized
and for what. We can look at the ways
we do corporate recognition, and suggest
(or adjust if we are responsible for it) a
balanced approach that includes more
personalized and meaningful strategies.
If nothing else, focus on this: do more
of what is already working. Where is
recognition happening already? Where
is recognition part of daily discourse?
Where could we experiment with different
recognition strategies and settings?
All the effort you put into meaningful
recognition will come back to you
in dividends. n
