Which employee works extra hours to continue to grow and evolve their skills? Who is always trying to learn something new so they can be the best, to help your business reach the top? Take time to recognize this employee (According to the 4 Ps of employee engagement). As your employee continues to evolve his/her skills, prospects and clients will begin experiencing the value of this improvement, giving prospects/clients an even better feeling about your business.
It takes hard work to master a skill (whether it's sales, help desk support, human resources, etc.) and if your employee is putting in the work to improve their skills, recognize this extra effort with an Improvement Award to promote continued hard work and improvement around your entire office.
