Recognition-rich cultures are the need of the hour. We now need to rethink reward and recognition systems for a better employee experience due to shifting employee expectations. For example, using cutting-edge and creative incentives to recognize outstanding performance with experiential gifts can energize employees and promote their well-being in these crucial times.
The previous few months have seen significant support from technology as well. Digital acceleration enabled company leaders, HR professionals, and executives to adjust quickly and assure workplace collaboration. In the current environment, operational procedures and R&R initiatives continue to benefit from digitization's capacity to improve employee experience and engagement. In this podcast, let's learn more about the new-age recognition in the workplace. Here we discuss a few ideas of new-age employee recognition solutions for greater employee experience, the common mistake that we make in recognition, maintaining equality in rewards and recognition, and much more.
For the conversation today we have with us, Lipika Verma.
