Saying Thank You is Good Business

By Josh Bersin

We just completed a year-long research study on the impact of employee recognition. It turns out that “high-recognition culture” companies dramatically outperform their peers in a whole range of business outcomes. These top companies generate 12X greater business outcomes in a variety of measures and have more than 30% lower voluntary turnover.

The employee recognition industry is an old market, focused heavily on rewarding employees for tenure and service. Such programs, while prevalent in more than 70% of companies, drive little actual business value. (How many of you stayed an extra five years at your company to get a pin?)

My philosophy is that the best candidate is the one who is not, and does not need to look for a position. I am finding that in the past 12 months, there are fewer and fewer candidates who are not in the market for a position. People are more willing to speak with a recruiter, there are fewer objections I need to overcome, and it has been easier to reach people. I am sure I am not alone, and that these previously “passive candidates” are also speaking to the other recruiters reaching out to them.
