In our conversations with customers and HR Professionals, we're learning that many companies want to start a recognition program—or have a few enthusiastic advocates within the organization who do. They understand that employee recognition is important and they also know that they need to keep up with the newer generations of workers who really thrive on that kind of positive feedback. But going from nothing to something—whether it's a small step or a big leap—can be really overwhelming. Does this sound like you?

After working at Baudville for over a year and a half now, recognition has become second nature to me. It's everywhere I look, from our catalog, to our own company events. Now I will be the first to admit, I didn't see the value in recognition until I started working here. I have had other jobs where recognition wasn't a big deal – but that's what I was used to so I didn't really think about it.
