Employee Recognition
Engaged employees are beneficial for workplaces in every way: they’re higher performers, they’re connected and committed to their company, and they’re willing to go above and beyond their role. In organizations that put a heavy emphasis on praising and recognizing employee achievements, engagement levels increase by nearly 60%.
Acknowledgment
“Amalgamated Unlimited believes that acknowledging someone who is worthy of acknowledgment is one of the greatest gifts that can be bestowed upon a person. It is a gesture that makes them feel tremendously appreciated. Our commitment to excellence and productivity is only exceeded by our desire to acknowledge.”

Winning Edge
In today’s ultra-competitive work environment, the companies with the winning edge are the ones that have the best-trained and well-skilled staff. However, even the best employees cannot perform well (or can even jump ship) when they are not motivated enough. This is why employee recognition and acknowledgement in the workplace has to be an innate part of any company’s culture.
