How to Build Productivity Through Rewards and Recognition By: Ben Peterson Employee recognition is one of the key drivers when motivating employees in the workplace, and 78 percent of employees would work harder if they were better recognized, according to Globoforce. It's really as simple as that. More recognition for work well done means happier, more engaged employees who are more invested in your organization and driven to produce great work. As simple as it is to say, it's more complicated to execute.

A built-out rewards and recognition program is becoming even more of a corporate imperative as millennials take the workforce by storm.
