We like cooking with tomatoes, especially the Nature Sweet Cherubs. Recently when we opened one of their relatively unique packages, I noticed on the underside of the peel-off top the picture and name of the employee that packed it, along with a QR code that said Meet Me. I read the code with my smartphone and up came a full color picture and bio of Rocio Cortez, an audio interview with him, and a way to send him a message. Now that’s a great way to recognize outstanding behavior and boost a brand. Think about it:
· A relatively ‘out-of-sight’ job
· Done by someone that’s not highly paid
· In a business that probably has high turnover
· And not a lot of money to invest in employee recognition
And yet they came up with a clever way to recognize outstanding performers. I bet they also discovered that a simple recognition program could be the basis for building a culture of excellence. Employees thrive in an environment where management appreciates performance, thanks employees publicly, and allows them to gain self-respect and pride; that kind of thinking creates a deep sense of personal fulfilment and loyalty. I would guess Nature Sweet has discovered that employee recognition significantly improves employee morale, satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. It’s the invisible thread that builds those ties. Don’t miss a chance to recognize your employees today.
