What is Under the Skin of Challenges of Employee Recognition?
As we get under the skin of challenges faced by organisations in the current scenario, we can say that one of the most significant yet neglected needs of employees is employee recognition. With rapidly transforming work habits to remote working, face-to-face recognition with a pat on the back and surrounded by team members may be a thing of the past. The game of employee engagement and recognition is changing, and technology is a major catalysing factor in the process.
On the one hand, organisations are going hell for leather to cope with these changes, while several employers might be stuck between a rock and a hard place. Industry experts and analysts might not have stressed more on employee engagement and recognition as they are now.

Employee engagement is significantly impacted by unprecedented challenges that employees, as well as managers, face on a daily basis, which, when accumulated, make work unnecessarily complex and decreases productivity.
Moreover, it is said that employees who are able to connect with their organisations emotionally show increased intent for putting discretionary effort in their work and develop increased commitment for their job.
In present scenario full of uncertainties, employers might have to go the extra mile to recognise employees, which can impact the organisation’s overall performance in the long run.
