In 2024, only 22% of employees strongly agreed they get the right amount of recognition for the work they do. However, employees who strongly agree they get valuable feedback about their performance from the people they work with are:
- 57% less likely to be burned out
- 48% less likely to be looking or watching for another job
When employees feel valued for who they are and what they do – and are treated like they’re more than cogs in the machine – they act differently, in ways that positively impact their teams and organizations.
Well-recognized employees are 4.4x as likely to strongly agree that their job gives them purpose in their life. When they also strongly agree that they receive valuable feedback at work, there is a 71% chance they strongly agree their job gives them purpose.
At Workhuman, we call this "recognition done right." It's the concept we've built our business of 25+ years around, building a human-centered workplace, and it's what powers our #1 rated employee recognition solution.
