This means that levels of attrition are high in companies both locally and internationally. Engaged employees stay longer in companies, are more motivated and tend to perform better. While employee recognition may not be the main contributor to employee engagement, it plays a big role in fostering motivation, relationships and even teamwork.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Employee_Recognition_increases_employee_loyalty\"><\/span>Employee Recognition increases employee loyalty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Loyalty is a result of mutual respect in a relationship. Employer-employee relationships,&nbsp; most of the time, do not feel mutually beneficial. Employees might feel disadvantaged when they &#8216;go beyond their call of duty&#8217; and the effort goes unrecognized. Such feelings graduate to demotivation and eventually resentment. A resentful employee usually has one foot already out of the company.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Employee_recognition_boosts_business_performance\"><\/span>Employee recognition boosts business performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/job-market-report-december-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This job market report<\/a> by BrighterMonday highlighted the high desire in Kenyan employees to change jobs. The situation here paints a picture of employees who are more keen on leaving than hitting current targets. When you have employees who are halfway gone in the workplace, they only do the bare minimum. This means that your business targets are either just plateauing or even deteriorating. Employee recognition boosts motivation which translates to individual and team performance and ultimately improves business performance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Employee_recognition_improves_workplace_collaboration\"><\/span>Employee recognition improves workplace collaboration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Employees who are motivated as a result of genuine and sound recognition programs always want to do their best to improve their company&#8217;s bottom line. They understand that their good performance will translate to the company&#8217;s performance and general revenue which will the trickle to their own remuneration and recognition. They, therefore, work hard and together to ensure everything falls into place. Additionally, engaged employees are happier and interact better amongst themselves.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Build_an_Effective_Employee_Recognition_Program\"><\/span>How to Build an Effective Employee Recognition Program<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-create-an-effective-recognition-program-_1200by630.jpg\" alt=\"employee recognition program\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-create-an-effective-recognition-program-_1200by630.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-create-an-effective-recognition-program-_1200by630-378x198.jpg 378w, https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-create-an-effective-recognition-program-_1200by630-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-create-an-effective-recognition-program-_1200by630-770x404.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-create-an-effective-recognition-program-_1200by630-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brightermonday.co.ke\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/How-to-create-an-effective-recognition-program-_1200by630-390x205.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You might be an employer or HR practitioner who understands the value of employee recognition, but hasn&#8217;t gotten down to actually setting up a program.

Also, set up parameters and metrics that will help you measure the performance of your program. If one of your KPIs was engagement, has it increased over a certain time period? Do employees seem happier? Are more employees willing to go the extra mile? Most of these results cannot be measured in absolutes, but via general performance. To get absolutes. you could consider sending periodic employee surveys then track levels of engagement and satisfaction.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Establish_a_Budget\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.
