An employee of the month program sounds great, but what does it really mean? The vague term feels good to employees who receive the award, but it might leave other employees wondering precisely what characteristics make a winner. That sounds pretty frustrating, right?
If employees can’t determine what makes a model employee (by leadership’s standard at least) then engagement will plummet as everyone is left guessing what exactly they need to do to be recognized. Without tactical goals and clear expectations, they might start to wander, losing sight of the path the achievement without direction to channel their efforts.
When companies provide clear parameters for the employee of the month distinction, the award reinforces core values, pretty powerful tool by our standards. When awards are directly tied to common values, the entire company will unite around the rallying cry, and that type of power trickles down to even the smallest of daily tasks.
For example, the word “integrity” floating on a website means next to nothing by itself…even if it’s styled with a bold type or a creative, quirky font. However, when you reward Areerat for displaying integrity when she owned up to an ugly accounting mistake she made on last month’s numbers, employees get the perfect example of integrity in practice.
