Engagement and how employees that are engaged not only enhance the workplace culture, but, also add incredible value to the organization. Organizations that look at recognition from the perspective of engagement, purpose driven work, organizational culture, and meaningful recognition are more likely to have less conflict, stronger collaboration, appreciation for one another and the role team members play in the overall organization, and commitment to corporate values and objectives. Recognition is not about anniversary pins – it is about creating a culture where purpose and engagement thrives, individual talents and skills are tapped into and recognized, and, where leadership creates the environment for people to grow with the company instead of their competitors. It is about creating the conditions (and supporting leaders in leading these conditions) that foster creativity, motivation and resilience.
Charmaine has worked with organizations from many sectors to build leaders at many levels, facilitate teams in working better together and creating a working environment where appreciation and recognition is woven through the culture. Charmaine was also contracted by the Government of Alberta to create, launch and implement the Minister’s Awards of Merit. She has also worked with municipalities and non-profit organizations on similar projects.
