Recognising employee successes and celebrating those individuals who live and breathe the company values will positively shape your organisation’s culture.
Your company values should be something that every employee feels are real within your organisation otherwise they amount to little more than a few words in the company handbook.
Below are five examples of organisations doing a great job of celebrating the core values and company successes.
Home Depot
The US home improvement giant provides a great example of a retail company with great core values and employee recognition. They do an amazing job of encouraging their stores to champion their staff in tweets such as this and this.
