I strongly believe that all employees should be celebrated, in some type of fashion, big or small. So when my boss recently brought up the idea of writing down our weekly “wins,” I was on board.
Each week, every staff member will be tasked to make a running list of their “wins,” including both work and personal items. Landing a client in a magazine or achieving a challenging yoga pose could be on the same list (shhh … not giving away anything on my list). Then once a week at our staff meeting, each employee will share their wins to the group.
This is a great chance for companies to not only have their employees get to know each other better and see what everyone is working on, but to also create a positive work environment–one that celebrates your successes.
According to a report by the Society for Human Resource Management and Globoforce, values-based employee recognition significantly contributes to bottom-line organizational metrics and helps create a stronger culture and more human workplace.
In short, people like to be recognized, and I think this weekly exercise will certainly do the trick.
