Celebration is a motivational fertilizer. Of the many forms of praise, including compliment, recognition, and approval, none is as energizing or motivational as celebration. Celebration of any sort or size suggests an accomplishment worthy of larger acknowledgment. It is praise with an exclamation point!
Celebration can indeed create a snowball effect that keeps going. You’re right in that you aren’t just sending a message to the person getting the accolade. You’re also showing that good work gets noticed and that message will go to the whole team.
You don’t need to wait for the annual awards ceremony. In fact you shouldn’t wait at all.
The best feedback should be immediate to make it most relevant and useful.
There are those of us who enjoy simple thank yous and accruing pull. Others want to be recognized department/company wide.I believe Jack Welch (I understand his methods are controversial) put it best: plaques and pay. That my friends is a one-two combination that we can all apply. Even if we are greedy.
