TOTAL SCORE   OUTCOME

26-30             You are an employee recognition pro. Keep up the excellent work.

21-25              You are doing well with employee recognition. You have got the basics right and have a solid recognition foundation, but there is always room for improvement.

15-20              You are average when it comes to recognizing your employees. Though you aren’t failing miserably, there is room for more. You may be missing out on maximizing engagement and connection, so now’s the time to commit to making some more intentional efforts around recognition.

10-14               There is a lot of room for growth. Chances are good that your recognition efforts are not hitting the mark with your team or aren’t happening often enough. Now’s the time to start making sure team members feel seen and appreciated.

0-10                Consider this check-in as your wake-up call. Your employees are devoid of appreciation. Give them the recognition they need and deserve. It’s time to show them that you notice and appreciate their contributions.
