DES PRAISE (Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence)

PROJECT GUNGGUNA
(GIVING UNEQUALED AND NOTABLE AWARDS FOR THE GAINS
GARNERED OF UNIQUE and NOTEWORTHY ACHIEVEMENTS)

Introduction

People feel good when their work is valued thus giving awards and rewards is an
important mechanism in an organization. It shows approval and gratitude for each person's
good job, and it makes people aware that good work will be rewarded. The giving of awards
and recognition is but one of the many ways by which teachers and schools provide students
with positive feedback and affirmation, which can improve the learner's confidence, self-
awareness, and enthusiasm for learning (DO No, 36 s. 2016).

A good reward system helps an organization build a growth-centered environment,

track the individual progress of educators, and keep them inspired for dynamic growth and
new achievements.
