“While it is important to recognize employees every day, Employee Appreciation Day reminds us to refocus our workforce appreciation efforts,” said Ashley Fina, president of Michael C. Fina. “With four generations working together, each has distinct characteristics that organizations need to take into account when appreciating their employees.”
According to Michael C. Fina, generational differences include:
– Traditionalists (1922-1945) – Want their actions to connect with the good of the company. Recognition should hone in on service and loyalty with awards, trophies and plaques.
– Baby Boomers (1946-1964) – Need to see how their actions make a difference so recognition should promote and reward performance.
– Generation X (1965-1978) – Needs flexibility to get the job done based on their schedule and recognition should embrace these personal needs and goals.
– Generation Y (1979-1988) – Connects their responsibilities to their personal goals with tangible evidence of credibility. For example, post about the employee’s career milestones on a Recognition Wall, an internal social platform.
