Recognize and Praise Individuals or Teams
Expressing praise and recognition is key to employee retention. While in-person gratitude is important, it often goes unseen by the broader team. Publicly reinforcing recognition makes employees feel valued and encourages others to aim for similar achievements.
How you might currently be doing this
- Verbal praise during team meetings
- Posting recognition on job site bulletin boards
- Announcing achievements in company-wide emails
- Rewarding employees with bonuses or incentives
- Highlighting individuals in newsletters or internal memos
- Handing out certificates or awards
- Public shout-outs in group chats or messaging apps
How to do this more effectively
Team Engine automatically broadcasts praise to the right groups via text, ensuring all employees see it in real time. By delivering recognition directly to their phones, you foster a positive culture where achievements are celebrated, encouraging others to strive for the same level of excellence.
Why Use Team Engine Instead
Accessibility: Some employees may not use social media or email, but 97% of US adults have a mobile phone and can receive text messages.
Everyone sees the message: Unlike verbal announcements or signs, employees check their text inbox regularly and won't miss the notification.
Build camaraderie: Team-wide messages encourage additional recognition from peers, reinforcing a sense of team spirit.
