Why Employees Need Both Recognition and Appreciation
Why Employees Need Both Recognition and Appreciation
We often use the words recognition and appreciation interchangeably, but theres a big difference between them. The former is about giving positive feedback based on results or performance. The latter, on the other hand, is about acknowledging a persons inherent value. This distinction matters because recognition and appreciation are given for different reasons. Even when people succeed, inevitably there will be failures and challenges along the way; depending on the project, there may not even be tangible results to point to. If you focus solely on praising positive outcomes, on recognition, you miss out on lots of opportunities to connect with and support your team members to appreciate them. Managers should make sure theyre doing both.
