Fans of the short-lived Dilbert cartoon series will fondly remember the episode focused on employee motivation tools.

In the episode, the pointy-haired boss gave his “valued” employees recognition pieces primarily found in the company’s lost and found box. Characters like Wally gladly accepted these items, as it was the only time they truly got any form of “job well done” recognition from the higher ups.

While the concept of being happy for getting a glove or sock seems absurd (and it is), the truth behind the employee recognition episode is that recognizing your employees’ hard work is integral for the success of a business. An employee who sees that their efforts are recognized is more likely to perform better and, just as importantly, want to stay with your company, and in today’s climate, where employees can jump between organizations every couple years, anything you can do to retain your top workers is crucial.
