Employee Recognition produces feelings of goodwill between the employee and employer. Gifts need not be cost-prohibitive, however, a successful employee recognition program includes gifts with a recognized name brand and quality items signifying advanced levels achieved by the employee. It is the gesture of receiving a reward that provides the feeling of gratitude felt by the employee, which can restore a bounce in their step for a long time into the future.
