【商業熱話】研究：近一半受訪員工表示離職的主因是未獲得公司賞識 Survey suggests nearly half of the surveyed employees’ main reason for resigning was a lack of recognition from their company
後疫情階段，不少行業依然面對人才短缺的問題。許多公司推出各式福利以表達對員工的重視，但公開表揚員工的力量卻常常被低估。
美國員工獎金和功勞認可網路平台Bonusly，早前向2,000名當地打工仔進行調查，研究有關僱主及同事認可，以及其對員工敬業度的影響。調查顯示，近一半（46%）的員工表示他們離職的主要原因是未獲得公司的賞識。事實上，如果他們的貢獻能被管理層看見，65%的員工表示會更努力地工作。
如果僱主對員工的努力或貢獻視而不見，就會對員工的士氣與生產力有巨大的負面影響。如果我們能提供更全面的僱主認可，讓員工知道他們的努力並未白費，這不僅能提升員工的幸福感，也能提高員工的忠誠度與效率。另一方面，同事間的互相認可也有著相似的正面影響，65%員工表示，即使上司不賞識他們，如果能獲得同事的認可，他們依然願意留在公司工作。
支持員工的最好方式就是先支持管理者。調查發現，四分之一受訪者表示他們期望公司能夠提供個人教練，並提供職涯發展機會。受訪員工認為僱主可以透過加薪、提供健康與專業發展的津貼、以及認可計劃以表達對員工的認可。當中最多人（35%）希望公司可以設立獎金或認可計劃。
賞識員工的力量並非一日之功，而是需要長期的投入與支持。從今天開始，將賞識帶入公司文化中，讓每位員工都能感受到他們的價值與貢獻，並以此為公司創造更大的價值。
In the post-pandemic phase, many industries still face the problem of talent shortage. Companies have introduced various benefits to express their appreciation for employees, yet the power of public recognition is often underestimated.
Bonusly, a US-based platform for employee bonuses and recognition, conducted a survey among 2,000 local workers to study the impact of employer and peer recognition on employee dedication. The survey revealed that nearly half (46%) of the employees stated that the main reason for leaving their jobs was a lack of recognition from their companies. In fact, 65% of employees stated that they would work even harder if their contributions were noticed by management.
When employers overlook the efforts and contributions of their employees, it has a significant negative impact on morale and productivity. By providing comprehensive employer recognition and letting employees know that their efforts are not in vain, we can not only increase employee happiness but also enhance their loyalty and efficiency. On the other hand, peer recognition also has a similar positive effect. 65% of employees expressed that even if their supervisors didn't appreciate them, they would still be willing to stay in the company if they received recognition from their peers.
The best way to support employees is by first supporting managers. The survey found that a quarter of respondents expressed their desire for the company to provide personal coaching and offer career development opportunities. Employees believe that employers can show recognition by providing salary increases, wellness and professional development stipends, and recognition programs. Among these options, the majority (35%) hoped for the establishment of bonus or recognition programs.
The power of appreciating employees is not an overnight effort but requires long-term investment and support. Starting from today, let's incorporate appreciation into compannies' culture, allowing every employee to feel their value and contributions, and thus creating greater value for the company.
