UR Stars best practices

认可和欣赏员工的影响不仅能提高工作满意度,还能推动整体成功. When it comes to recognition, 您可以遵循几个最佳实践来确保其有效性.

  • Be genuine: Recognition should always come from a place of genuine appreciation. Sincerity is key.
  • Be specific and timely: 当认识某人时,要具体说明他们做了什么以及为什么重要. Provide feedback and recognition in a timely manner, 因此,个人可以充分欣赏并将这种认可与他们的行为联系起来.
  • Make recognition meaningful and personal: Tailor recognition to each ​individual’s preferences and motivations. 了解是什么让每个人感到被欣赏和重视,并相应地定制认可.
  • Connect recognition to our values: 重要的不仅是要对生活在我们的美利奥拉和ICARE价值观中的个人表示赞赏, 但也可以加强其他同事与我们价值观一致的行为.
  • Make recognition a habit: Don’t just wait for a big achievement to recognize someone. Celebrate small wins and improvement, too.
