One of the keys to a successful social recognition program is to make the recognition Public & Visible. By celebrating in a public forum the types of activities that your company wants to promote, you reinforce your corporate culture. You create a repository of stories that would otherwise go untold or remain hidden.

By sharing stories about one’s co-workers within the Social Intranet, the recognition moment becomes a personal, social, and highly interactive event to be valued by the recipient and appreciated by the community.

Non-monetary social recognition programs provide short and long-term benefits. They deliver a win-win situation. Not only are they far less expensive than traditional monetary rewards programs, they are also proven to be more effective in engaging and motivating knowledge workers than “carrot and stick” incentives.
