HR Toolkit - Employee Recognition

Employees want not only good pay and benefits, but also opportunities to contribute to their employer, customers and other stakeholders through their work, and feel valued and appreciated for their efforts in the workplace.

This HR Toolkit will further explain the significance of employee recognition, provide an overview of different types of workplace recognition programs and suggest a step-by-step process to implement an employee recognition program.
