Do you truly see your employees? Do they see you? Employee recognition is about so much more than pay and praise. It’s about seeing your existing and future employees for who they are - what they expect and strive for and about making them feel valued and empowered. It’s about motivation and coaching. And now I’m straying from the path I set out for myself today, because leadership and people empowerment are matters close to my heart. Employee recognition is also about performance and reinforcing desired behavior and mindsets, because employee needs should of course be reconciled with company goals. So, from an expectation management pov, a strong employer brand will enable future employees to see your company for what it is and attract the right candidates with a significantly higher match rate. In short, if your employer brand and aligned actions embodies your cultural DNA and commercial ambitions, it will keep your existing employees motivated and engaged and attract the best match of talent for your company. Our work with Austrian Airlines makes a strong case for my point of view.

🙏 Regular feedback and positive evaluations from direct supervisors or colleagues are crucial for employee motivation, fostering a sense of attachment to the company, and promoting loyalty, ultimately contributing to increased retention. According to public surveys, employees who receive consistent positive feedback are more engaged and committed to their roles. This not only boosts morale but also creates a positive work environment, enhancing overall job satisfaction. The sense of recognition and value leads to higher employee retention rates, benefiting both individual growth and the company's long-term success. Dear BDO Latvia collegues, let's inspire each other to share positive feedback, fostering a more motivated and collaborative environment. 🥳 Pateicos Signe Kanejeva par padalīšos ar Latvijas Kantar pētījuma datiem par atgriezeniskās saites kultūru: https://lnkd.in/d8P2gFbX

As leaders and managers, it is crucial to find creative ways to enhance employee engagement. One effective approach is to use the soccer game analogy, drawing parallels between the teamwork, strategy, and passion exhibited in soccer and the dynamics of an engaged workforce.

The key theme of the Autumn Conference of Bulgarian Association for People Management that took place a week ago, was Employee Engagement. Successful HR practices, personal experiences, innovations, challenges, and solutions were shared by HR professionals from various industries. In the panel discussions, the question of what disengages employees was also addressed. Here are some of the reasons mentioned: 🔹Lack of feedback 🔹Lack of interest in what excites employees 🔹Poor leadership We can add a few more to these: 🔹Lack of clarity regarding goals and tasks 🔹Toxic work environment 🔹Lack of work-life balance 🔹Lack of opportunities for training and development, including lack of challenges 🔹Missing social connection Do you see 🔘 the intersections 🔘 between all these reasons?... 🧲 Effective communication, feedback, and a leader's ability and focus to consciously notice and recognize what is going on with people. 🧲 In the hectic everyday life, this is probably challenging, but still possible. If you want to build a culture of open feedback and collaboration in your team that encourages every member to feel valued and motivated, we would be happy to share more about how you can achieve this.

I've had a fantastic morning (and way too much coffee) at the Melbourne International Coffee Expo, meeting some new leaders in the space and also catching up with some familiar faces from last year. I also had the pleasure of attending the MICE educating area where Leon Kennedy (The Mulberry Group) and Kai Ogura (Market Lane Coffee) gave advise on how they initiate Attracting and Retaining Talent. It was an honest and frank view of the hospitality and sales market and also highlighted that employee feedback is crucial for fostering a positive work environment and driving continuous improvement. It provides valuable insights into employee satisfaction, engagement levels, and areas for growth within the organisation. To make the most of this feedback, it's essential to listen actively, acknowledge the input received, take actionable steps to address concerns or suggestions, and regularly communicate progress back to employees. This iterative process not only boosts morale but also enhances productivity and overall success.
