Workforce Mood Tracker™ April 2011 Report: Misalignment between Employee Recognition and Performance

This survey uncovered 3 disturbing trends in employee attitudes towards their employers.  The findings reveal an opportunity for companies to differentiate themselves and build strong cultures of recognition and appreciation. Companies that do this well will benefit from more loyal and productive employees, while dramatically reducing turnover.

Down this report to access the key findings, including:

• More than 50% of employees say that the amount of recognition received impacts job satisfaction
• 41% of employees are not satisfied with the level of recognition they receive for doing good work
• The “middle 70%” of performers feel like they are being ignored
