your first step at making recognition both common sense & common practice at Brown!
Motivation is one of the most basic elements of human behavior, and it has been well documented that recognition for a job well done is the top motivator for employee performance. While money is important to most employees, non-cash rewards and thoughtful recognition have proven to be more powerful motivators.
At Brown University, our workplace culture promotes both formal and informal recognition because we value the contributions our employees have made in areas such as managing for excellence, diversity, innovation, efficiency, service and University citizenship.
Our goals for both formal and informal recognition are:
- To inspire and recognize excellence and showcase standards of performance that reflect the values of Brown University.
- To celebrate accomplishments that reflect sustained, superior performance and make a significant contribution to the goals and mission of the University.
- To create a culture of appreciation and foster a sense of community.
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.
