Need for Recognition

Need for Recognition

Why there is such urgent need of recognition in INDIA?

To begin with, I would like to post a case. We have seen most of the time, say if you want to make a team for any event and everybody know that there will be least recognition, you will have very less representation. But once they know that there will be enough recognition, you have to stop people flooding into your team. This is a very general case and can be seen every now and then.

So is the case in business organization. In today’s time, every employee needs recognition.

Acc to Wikipedia, s a means to increase productivity, communication, and satisfaction in the workplace, recognition is a tool used by many successful organizations to address these challenges. Recognition can be used in multiple models, including manager-to-employee, employee-to-manager, and peer-to-peer. In terms of employment, individuals within an organization can acknowledge each other for great attitudes, individual efforts and team contributions that help build a great culture and positive work environment.

Recognition in the workplace can be a monetizing activity, a complimentary activity, or both. In terms of monetized activities, organizations will recognize employees with additional compensation (bonuses) or items that have a monetary value (tickets, trips, etc.)

But this is not the case for discussion here. I want to focus upon the rivalry which arises due to that NEED of recognition. Once this type of initiative starts in any organization, everybody behave like a perfect gentleman. Also, some people appears from nowhere whereas those who work throughout the year are asked to give chance to someone else.

Now the question arises that should recognition be done on a particular performance or the performance throughout the year. It may be criticized by the statement that performance appraisal is also there for such performance but I strongly oppose the situation where such recognition is provided to those who work only for recognition.

And this is all HR department work. They have to look after such people in the organization and restrict them so that they perform throughout the year and not only for some specific events.

Good Bye for today… and at last, answer to all HR problems… OPEN UP!!!
