Remote Workmate is pleased to introduce the “Thank You, Workmate” initiative, a project to recognise our Workmates’ performance and efforts. We seek to inspire all our hard-working Workmates, especially during these challenging times.
Our reasoning behind this initiative is simple: we believe employees are the most important part of any organisation – more than proprietary technology, techniques, great ideas, or products and services. Why? Because all those you can create.
Your people, however, are crucial because the quality of their work and interactions with your customers are essential to your company’s success.
For your people to perform at the highest level and deal admirably with customers, they have to feel emotionally invested in their work. One of the best ways to do this is through employee recognition.
Here are the other key points of the initiative:
Q: How often will we recognise Workmates?
A: We’ll be recognising one Workmate per month – for now, at least.
Q: How do we select the recipients?
A: We’ll reach out to different clients every month for feedback regarding their Workmates. The Workmate who receives the most glowing review (which should include notable achievements) will get the recognition that month.
Q: What happens when a Workmate is recognised?
A: We’ll announce the recognition on our social media accounts. Recognised Workmates will also be given a little token of appreciation for their exemplary performance.
Bestselling author and motivational speaker Simon Sinek said it best with this quotable quote:
When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.
According to research by Bain & Company (via Harvard Business Review), inspired employees perform significantly better than their colleagues. They’re 250% more productive compared to employees who were merely “satisfied”.
With the “Thank You, Workmate” initiative, we seek to reward our high-performing Workmates and provide the spark that will energise them to exceed their client’s expectations, and their own.
