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. - Peer-to-Peer Recognition
Peer-to-peer recognition is the genuine expression of recognition exchanged between co-workers. Did a co-worker help you with a project or task? Give them a shout out at your next department meeting! - 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. - Professional Development
Encourage your employees to take advantage of the tuition benefits, BUILD training, LYNDA courses, or other opportunities for professional development. - Casual Fridays
Choose a day for your employees to wear DePaul apparel or casual attire. - 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.
