Employee recognition

Rewarding employees

“I have always believed that the

way you treat your employees is the way they will treat your customers, and that people flourish when they are praised.”

Sir Richard Branson

Forbes HR Research (Josh Bersin, Forbes online)

“…..the results are really astounding:

organisations that give regular thanks to their employees far out perform those that don’t.”

Appreciation (online Merriam-Webster)

The ability to understand the worth, quality, or importance of something : an ability to appreciate something

Investopedia onlineworld’s leading source of financial content on web

“Appreciation is an increase in the value of

an asset over time.”

Providing appreciation‘I don’t need it, never got it, so why should I give it?’

How did you perform in your intern year?

Does this project empower interns?

Intern reply

I just received your letter and the certificate and just wanted to say I really appreciate it, because it really makes a difference. It's nice to know that my efforts were appreciated and people thought well of me.

Intern reply

The words written about me mean a lot, and more important is the fact that my work has been noticed and appreciated because I am a quiet worker. I used to wonder all of 2013 whether the senior colleagues noticed the work I did.

Intern reply

I just received your wonderful “Intern Yearbook

Project” in the mail and would like to say, what a

lovely idea that is so very Eastern Health! I’m sure

you made many people’s day!

Intern reply“I was pleasantly surprised to receive a letter and

accompanying certificate as part of the Intern Yearbook Project. This is such a beautiful idea and I was touched by the lovely comments!”

Intern reply

I was so touched by the Intern Yearbook Project and reading the comments made by others about me. Knowing my colleagues felt I performed well has really given me a great deal of confidence in my future medical career.

Project limitations

voting numbers vary each year we don’t know who comments

not everyone gets a certificate we can’t evaluate it - interns have left

Film’s message?

‘Back to the Future’ queried whether we were

all on a predetermined path that nothing could alter, or was it just possible to meddle?

let’s meddle and change some futures!!
