We all work long, hard hours. And that hard work can sometimes go without much recognition or appreciation. But it’s important to reward your employees for a job well done. Some surveys have shown that employee recognition has a direct correlation to employee satisfaction, and satisfied employees do better work and are less inclined to leave. Recognition makes employees feel appreciated: you're showing your peer, manager, or direct report that his or her work matters.

People remain a business’ most valuable asset, and it is when HR spearheads the recruitment, nurturing and teamwork between these people that they perform at a high level and make the company profitable.
