Milestone Appreciation: A Powerful Tool for Engaging Employees
How recognizing milestones engages employees in your vision and inspires great work
Appreciation is basic. As humans we need it. We crave it. We respond to it. That makes appreciation basic to the success of companies, too. Research shows that 79 percent of people who quit their jobs cite lack of appreciation as the main reason, and recent focus groups on appreciation found employees become disengaged when they don't feel appreciated. While there are many ways to show employee appreciation, recognizing an employee's years of service, or milestones, is a simple, objective, and automatic way to communicate to your employees they are valued.
