Sadly, in some areas over the years, that’s become twisted to focus on the metric and not the behavior or goal underlying the metric. Knowing where we stand and how we’re doing in working toward targets is important, but these metrics must never supersede the original reason for pursuing the target. If the original goal or target is providing good healthcare to help people live longer, healthier lives, then the metric has certainly supplanted the goal.

Why do some recognition programs take off with widespread adoption, while others struggle to gain traction or make an impact? The problem is not that some work cultures don’t need recognition – appreciation is a basic human need. One challenge many companies face is that executives, and sometimes even HR leaders, perceive recognition as a cost as opposed to an investment. What about “free recognition” or “e-thanks”?

You can’t give all employees promotions, bonuses, or raises. Social recognition, however, can be applied to all. In perhaps a worst-case scenario, promotions are little more than title changes in which the employee’s job duties change little if at all with no pay increase. It’s not a positive experience for the employee. But let’s be realistic about recent trends – at most, the majority of employees are receiving the equivalent of cost-of-living increases.
