Even a sufficient work-life balance doesn’t help medical professionals remain engaged and motivated when an organization fails to set an environment that is positive and safe in all respects for all employees. But what does it take? Let’s take a closer look. This article will showcase how social psychology and modern HR tech help organizations retain and develop their human capital.

You’ve heard the word thrown around at planning meetings and human resource events. We know that company “culture” is the unique values and beliefs that contribute to an organization’s personality – defining the environment where its employees work.

There’s an epidemic taking over the workforce – and the world. It’s changing the way business is conducted and how workplaces organize and lead their teams. In only 5 short years, the world’s workforce is predicted to be made up 75% millennials.

If your organization does not have an employee recognition program in place, you are already way behind the curve. With Deloitte reporting over 80% of organizations are already running some form of recognition program, recognition has become the norm in today’s businesses.

Does this mean that every company is running the right recognition program? Not necessarily.

As we gain access to more and more data, it is important to establish the right KPIs for each and every project we implement. This is especially true when it comes to projects built around such hard-to-grasp concepts as company culture, employee engagement, staff morale and the like. Otherwise, we risk drowning in secondary data and missing what’s really important.

As a human resource leader, you realize that company culture and employee job satisfaction are some of the most important things to boost productivity, decrease staff turnover and ensure customer loyalty.

Employee recognition and incentive programs are constantly being adopted by new industries—retail is certainly one of them. As with many organizations, the staff who interact with the customers and actually make the sales happen are really the bread and butter of the entire organization.

Everyone wants to be appreciated, valued, and recognized for their contributions. When a person performs well or beyond what was required, recognition becomes even more important.
