“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” Maya Angelou
Introduction
This famous quote from Maya Angelou in a way says it all. This is also very much in line with the top 3 zones of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs; a popular psychology theory which talks about how humans get motivated. The above theory is applicable to employees at workplace as well.
Today we have proven facts and figures through numerous research reports that Recognition at workplace has a great impact on Employee Engagement. However, organisations still struggle to fully embrace employee appreciation and recognition practices at workplace primarily for lack of conviction of the benefits.
