New Workplace Recognition Study Reveals Five Ways Managers Miss the Mark
Ever feel like your hard work has gone unnoticed? You’re not alone. Almost half of the full-time employees who responded to an Office Team survey said they would be “somewhat or very likely” to leave their current job if their manager didn’t recognize a job well done.
An independent research firm conducted the study based on telephone interviews with 431 employees in an office environment.
As for the type of recognition that matters most? The Benjamins. People want to be compensated monetarily; 38 percent said they prefer tangible rewards whereas 21 percent prefer opportunities to learn and grow.

In addition to the type of recognition people want, the survey also broke down results generationally.
