North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s Post

Looking back, my career (25 years) had led me to this point ... I was 23 when I knew I wanted to help organisations be better, do better... I remember the exact moment that thought occurred to me. The want arose from a need, an angry reaction to seeing how institutions mistreated the very people they were there to serve and support. I found a job in compliance, which developed into internal audit. I found a place where I could hold management to account, to do better and be better. Then I realised that what I really wanted to see was real behavioural change, and that was about culture. Company culture. I have worked in the DEI world, helping companies do better, be better at their diversity and anti-racism goals. Inclusion matters. I developed my understanding of the whole system of governance and how it impacts company behaviours. Ethics is paramount. I haven't looked back as I pursued honing my skills, knowledge and understanding of how companies work culturally, in pursuit of objectives that are supported by the practices that drive decision making and behaviours. Psychological safety is at the core of bringing it all together effectively. And at dragonfish UK I am empowered to put it all to use. It's been a rewarding journey to get to this point. And now I have joined Awards International as a judge and will be assessing Employee Experience case studies and presentations. I can't wait.

The Recognition Poll has closed, the votes have been tallied, and the RESULTS are in! We want to thank everyone who participated in our recent recognition poll - your input is invaluable in understanding what drives professional satisfaction and productivity.     Performance Awards/Bonuses emerged the clear WINNER, emphasizing the significance of tangible incentives in recognizing employee efforts.  Flexibility and Work-Life Balance was a close second.   Verbal or Written Praise and Professional Development Opportunities also received votes.  Employers, take heed! Each employee is unique, and it is clear from the results that your recognition efforts should reflect same.    If you feel your current Firm overlooks the importance of personalized recognition, don’t hesitate to reach out.  Finding a Firm that values your individuality is climactic (word of the day) and we’re here to help!  Thank you once again to everyone who participated! #EmployeeRecognition #ShowMeTheMoney #Employersthatcare #TheElusiveFoxInc.

Recognition for your efforts at work is known to be a better motivator than money. There are lots of ways to recognise someone's outstanding work, too, whether it is a shout out in a team meeting, time-off, bonuses and so on. You could also consider introducing in-house awards, sort of like Employee of the Month. The WOW! Awards : Employee Recognition Programmes are an international program with a couple of features that makes it stand out from the others. 1. The nominations are sought from colleagues and customers. Supervisors can’t be everywhere at once to notice everyone’s great work, so it is up to those who do see it to do the nominating. 2. The judging is done at arm's length by The WOW! Awards, based on a pre-agreed criteria. This means the awards are decided independently (no bias or workplace politics at play) which gives them more impact. You can find out more about The WOW! Awards at their website https://lnkd.in/dJh9Fnw Credible Source Solutions partners with The WOW!

Employees are the backbone of any organization. They crave more than just a paycheck. It's important for companies to recognize the efforts of their employees and make them feel valued, heard, and appreciated for their contributions. When this recognition fails to happen, employees become apathetic, creativity dwindles, and top talent walks out the door. As a company, it's essential to prioritize employee recognition and ensure that employees feel appreciated every step of the way.
