HR BEST PRACTICES

6. Knowledge sharing

In the era of the knowledge-based economy, knowledge management has

increasingly captured the interest and attention of researchers and practitioners. In
addition, knowledge sharing behavior has been recognized as an important element of
knowledge management. 

 Adopt a systematic approach to ensure that knowledge management supports

strategy. Store knowledge in databases to provide greater access to information
posted either by the company or the employees on the knowledge portals of the
company.
 When an employee returns after attending any competencies or skills
development program, sharing essential knowledge with others could be made
mandatory.
 Innovative ideas (implemented at the work place) should also be posted on these
knowledge sharing platforms. However, what to store and how to maintain a
knowledge base requires further and detailed plans.

7. Highlight performers

Create profiles of top performers and make these visible though company intranet,
display boards, etc. It will encourage others to put in their best, thereby creating a
competitive environment within the company.
Employee recognition is the timely, informal or formal acknowledgement of a person’s or
team’s behavior, effort or business result that supports the organization’s goals and
values, and which has clearly been beyond normal expectations.

To be fully successful in the workplace at any level, you need to understand the
psychology of praising others for their good work, to apply the principles of employee
recognition yourself and to encourage others to initiate it in their working relationships.

8. Rewards

Merely recognizing talent may not work, you need to couple it with public appreciation.
Getting a cash bonus is often less significant than listening to the thunderous applause by
colleagues in a public forum.

9. Delight employees with the unexpected

Occasionally, delight your employees with unexpected things in the form of a reward, a
gift or a certificate. Reward not only the top performers but also a few others who need to
be motivated to exhibit their potential.

Why do we need to highlight performer, give rewards and delight our employees?

Because appreciation is a fundamental human need.

Employees respond to appreciation expressed through recognition of their good work

because it confirms their work is valued by others. When employees and their work are
valued, their satisfaction and productivity rises, and they are motivated to maintain or
improve their good work. 

No one wants to feel underappreciated at work and rewarding staff is important for
keeping up morale. When employees feel like they’re being recognized for their efforts,
they’ll likely be happier in their role – and as a result, a good school performance.

10. Open house discussions and feedback mechanism

Ideas rule the world. Great organizations recognize, nurture and execute great ideas.
Employees are the biggest source of ideas. The only thing that can stop great ideas being
implemented in your organization is the lack of an appropriate mechanism to capture
ideas. Open house discussions, employee-management meets, and suggestion boxes can
help identify and develop talent.
Feedback is also important to today’s professionals. It helps them to understand what
they’re doing right (and potentially where they’re going wrong). Reward schemes can be
a fun way to offer feedback to your staff. While this should not replace regular catch-ups
or annual reviews, monthly award schemes or bonuses can be the boost that staff need to
know they’re working isn’t going unnoticed, that they’re obviously doing something right
and that they should continue the hard work.

Final thoughts

It’s clear that rewarding staff isn’t about boosting their ego, it has a number of important
benefits for employers too. No one wants to feel undervalued at work and as such, it’s
important that all employees receive recognition for the work they do.

Also, the main thing to keep in mind is that any great business is made up of a mixture of
different personalities, cultures and beliefs that need to be considered when trying to
engage staff. Be open to discussion and really listen to staff requirements. Often you’ll
find that staff will let you know exactly what they need, you just need to be open to
hearing it!
