My organization gives out periodic financial bonuses to recognize employees' specific achievements on specific projects. Is it better to recognize an individual publicly or privately?-Jeff Childs, Supervisor, Administrative Support Training & Professional Development, Boys & Girls Clubs of America
It's important to know how the individual likes to be rewarded, and then respect his/her wishes. (It's the platinum rule, Do unto others as they would have done unto them.) Don't assume that how you would like to be recognized is how they would like to be recognized. Some people thrive on public recognition, while others prefer to be recognized privately. When in doubt, just ask.
