Recognize
Tips for meaningful recognition:

  • Be relevant: Send your thanks as soon as you can.
  • Be specific: Tell your colleague why their action is being noticed.
  • Talk about their results: Explain not just what was done, but why it was worthy of recognition.
  • Make it individual: The contribution was unique, so take the extra moment to explain how and make it unique to that employee.
  • Tell a story: Tell the story of their success and use emotionally evocative language that captures the sequence of events and their hard work.
  • Consider your words: Language has tremendous power. Choose your words carefully and make your message impactful.
