Recognition Applauding and celebrating the achievements of employees in the workplace is a well established Good Practice in any Human Resource Department. Such recognition should not only be limited to the staff member’s commercial performance and his/her contribution towards greater productivity, technical innovation and improved customer relations. It should also extend to the employee’s performance as a volunteer in support of the company’s social investment. Without recognition or some reward system, no programme is likely to gain the interest of employees. The following are some recommendations of how to recognize corporate volunteers: • Internal recognition on a small scale – This could be an interview in the company newsletter or an article on the company website mentioning individual employees involved. • Internal recognition on a periodic basis – Announce the ‘Volunteer of the Month’ within the company. • Internal recognition ‘from the top’ – It greatly matters when the Boardroom and senior managers recognize and thank employees personally. A thank you card would do. Lunch with the CEO would be great. Such small gestures go a long way. • Internal recognition on a large scale – The Company could hold an annual Corporate Volunteer Award ceremony expressing its gratitude towards corporate volunteers more publicly and within a celebratory framework. • Recognition through affiliation – Create a ‘Corporate Volunteer Yearbook’ or ‘Alumni Directory’ complete with photos, quotes and short biographies. • External recognition – Informing the public about successful volunteer initiatives by placing occasional advertorials in local newspapers and mentioning participating employees by name and through photos. 22
