Employers might want to re-evaluate their employee recognition and feedback mechanisms. Why? Employees are finding them uber important in the conduct of their work, according to one expert.
“It’s one of the most important things to workers, especially as we see this shift in the age and the demographics of the global workforce, where you have people, younger and younger, digital natives, individuals for whom work has become so much a part of their life,” says Sandra Moran, CMO of WorkForce Software.
“They seek not only traditional benefits, but they actually are seeking, from their work purpose, connection to others. As the population has shifted and the workforce is becoming increasingly younger, the priority [on] feedback and recognition has significantly increased.”
