Almost half (45%) of UK employees are not satisfied with current workplace recognition programmes, with those in the travel and transport sector most disgruntled, according to new research commissioned by reward app developer, Totem. While 92% of UK workers say it is important to be recognised by their line manager, 84% also want acknowledgement of their efforts from colleagues. Only 9% of staff feel their organisation has a tight knit culture, and
Marcus Thornley, founder of Play Consulting (makers of the Totem app) says:
‘It’s blinkered to assume that employees are solely motivated by transactional rewards, such as salaries or bonuses. Appreciation and recognition is an even more powerful tool, with a “thank you” or “well done” speaking volumes and leaving a lasting impression with employees.’
Totem believes there is a huge opportunity for leaders to redefine the way they run their businesses and to reset the employer-employee relationship, particularly given its research finding that only 10% of employees are fully satisfied with their current job.
