Some examples of employee recognition are:

 Congratulating the employee for good performance.

 Displaying on the notice board or in the company news letter

about the achievement of employee.

 Installing award or certificate for best performance.

 Distributing mementos, complimentary like T-shirts in recognition

of employee services.

 Rewarding an employee for giving valuable suggestions.
(vi) Job security: Employees want their job to be secure. They want certain

stability about future income and work so that they do not feel

worried on these aspects and work with greater zeal. In India, this

aspect is more important considering the inadequate job opportunities

and too many aspirants for these. However, there is one negative

aspect of job security. When people feel that they are not likely to lose

their jobs, they may become complacent.

(vii) Employee participation: It means involving employees in decision

making of the issues related to them. In many companies, these

programmes are in practice in the form of joint management

committees, work committees, canteen committees etc.,

(viii) Employee Empowerment: Empowerment means giving more autonomy

and powers to subordinates. Empowerment makes people feel that

their jobs are important. This feeling contributes positively to the use of

skills and talents in the job performance.
