As we all adjust to new circumstances behind the COVID-19 pandemic, many things are still up in the air. Entire workforces are suddenly fully remote, shelter-in-place orders abound, the economy is teetering, and one can’t help but feel a bit isolated and run down by it all.
Recognition’s Role
We believe that reassuring employees, appreciating them, and staying connected with them on a personal level is more important than ever in our current situation, and it’s a role that recognition was made for. It speaks to the entire reason we recognize each other at work – to build a strong culture of support and compassion that can weather any storm.
During this period of uncertainty, we have been sought out by clients and organizations for our best practices when it comes to recognizing and appreciating a remote workforce, a topic we have been a trusted resource for over the years. The biggest question we get by far is “How do we ramp up remote recognition efforts when everything else is being cut back?”
5 Tips for Success
With special attention paid to current circumstances, here are 5 best practice tips for continuing recognition efforts in a time of economic stress, self-quarantines, and high anxiety:
- Send Recognition Emails and eCards –When we are in the office, we take it for granted that we can walk up to a coworker and thank them in person, but these simple acts of daily kindness are the all-important glue that keeps paying good energy forward. Digital recognition in the form of email, an internal eCard system, or HALO’s own free-to-use Recognition Notes service don’t require registration or additional costs and are the cornerstone for recognizing remote workforces.
