Here, We Recognize!
Recognition makes us feel appreciated and valued. It also provides encouragement as we strive to carry out the mission of St. Vincent in our daily work. Whether it’s a positive shout-out during a meeting, a potluck lunch or simply a handwritten note, remember that recognition matters.
Recognition Ideas
- Recognition from a Manager
Recognition from a direct manager/supervisor is a proven contributor to employee engagement by noticing, acknowledging, and recognizing the efforts, contributions, and accomplishments of their staff and colleagues.
- Professional Development
Encourage your employees to take advantage of DePaul's tuition benefits, BUILD training, LinkedIn Learning courses, or other opportunities for professional development.
- Celebrate Milestones
Recognition of an employer's birthday, years of service, and other important milestones is a good way to boost employee engagement and let them know their work matters. - Casual Dress Day
Choose a day for your employees to wear DePaul apparel or casual attire at the office. - Little Things Matter
Whether it's a positive shout out, a potluck lunch, or a handwritten note, small and sincere gestures of appreciation mean a lot.
