NOVEMBER 2021HR TECH OUTLOOK6Today, our employees expect instant gratification. This is partly fueled by our lifestyle and modern technology ­ our devices are always on and can give us everything from the latest stock market update or movie to a week's worth of groceries in just a few clicks. We are a generation of workers who want what we want right now.Not all instant gratification is bad. It makes sense for employees to want open and honest communication in a timely manner. Recognition can be a vehicle for that feedback if opportunities are created to recognize employees timely and consistently.As we don't work in a vacuum, it's important to acknowledge the people who are the critical drivers of business success. Among the many lessons, we were reminded of last year was the importance of social justice in our society and how it impacts our responsibility as people leaders. Any successful rewards and recognition program should have in their agenda to support a more equitable and inclusive world.When it comes to recognition, highlighting the ways in which someone's work impacts not only their team but the rest of the company, customers, and other stakeholders is a great way to keep employees hooked up to their job roles. Tying recognition to purpose will be even more important to teams. The need for recognition is ever so increasing as organizations are still adapting to changes in communication and working styles. With teams balancing remote work, public health guidelines, and other challenges, leaders should take the responsibility to make time for rewards and recognition and to tie that recognition to purpose.This edition aims to provide readers insights from industry leaders to help them have a detailed understanding of the Employee Reward and Recognition arena and the recent developments in this field.Let us know your thoughts.Employee Appreciation through Rewards and RecognitionHanna WilsonManaging Editoreditor@hrtechoutlook.comManaging EditorHanna WilsonEditorial StaffSalesAaron PierceAva Garcia Philo VazRussell ThomasVisualizersChris LynnCalvin JamesEditor's NoteShirley Jacobsshirley@hrtechoutlook.comCopyright © 2021 ValleyMedia, Inc.
