The smell of tangerines and the various staff elections that have started are signs of the end of the year 🍊
Are you planning an employee of the year assessment based on the values of the organisation this year? As usual, you will invite employees to nominate their most valuable colleagues. Those whose behaviour, words and actions most closely reflect the principles by which you operate in your company.
We suggest another option.
You don’t need one person who is most in the with the values of your organization.
You need a LOT of people who are. First of all, the big job is not only to elect but also to encourage nominations. Help your employees to spot the other, to recognise valuable behaviour and to take the time to appreciate the colleague. Reward not only those who are the “best” but also those who nominate.
Voting for “who is most in line with the values” often turns into “who knows who more, who is more well-known, who works in a bigger department or in a more visible position”. Instead, it is better to do a lottery after selecting the right tickets for the competition and award a few people by lot. And translate the accumulated stories of how your employees see, understand and live your values into powerful content in your internal communications throughout the year.
We’ve already offered a different kind of values reward plan to our customers. Maybe you too are looking for unusual but meaningful solutions? Let’s talk!
