Nomination awards are a powerful recognition tool used in workplaces to celebrate employees who go above and beyond. Unlike instant recognition programs, these awards involve a formal nomination process where peers, managers, or leaders put forward individuals or teams for their outstanding contributions. They help build a culture of appreciation and ensure that exceptional efforts are acknowledged and celebrated.
What are nomination awards?
Nomination awards are structured recognition programs where employees are nominated by their peers, managers, or leadership teams for their achievements, impact, or contributions. They are often part of formal recognition events or reward cycles.
- Typically based on specific criteria such as performance, innovation, leadership, or teamwork.
- Encourage peer-to-peer recognition and leadership acknowledgment.
- Help spotlight employees whose contributions might otherwise go unnoticed.
Why are nomination awards important?
Nomination awards play a vital role in strengthening workplace culture and motivating employees.
- Reinforce organizational values by rewarding behaviors aligned with company goals.
- Build a sense of fairness and inclusivity as peers and leaders are involved in the nomination process.

Umfragen zum Puls der Mitarbeiter:
Es handelt sich um kurze Umfragen, die häufig verschickt werden können, um schnell zu erfahren, was Ihre Mitarbeiter über ein Thema denken. Die Umfrage umfasst weniger Fragen (nicht mehr als 10), um die Informationen schnell zu erhalten. Sie können in regelmäßigen Abständen durchgeführt werden (monatlich/wöchentlich/vierteljährlich).
Treffen unter vier Augen:
Regelmäßige, einstündige Treffen für ein informelles Gespräch mit jedem Teammitglied sind eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, ein echtes Gefühl dafür zu bekommen, was mit ihnen passiert. Da es sich um ein sicheres und privates Gespräch handelt, können Sie so mehr Details über ein Problem erfahren.
eNPS:
Der eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) ist eine der einfachsten, aber effektivsten Methoden, um die Meinung Ihrer Mitarbeiter über Ihr Unternehmen zu ermitteln. Er enthält eine interessante Frage, die die Loyalität misst. Ein Beispiel für eNPS-Fragen sind: Wie wahrscheinlich ist es, dass Sie unser Unternehmen weiter empfehlen? Die Mitarbeiter beantworten die eNPS-Umfrage auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10, wobei 10 bedeutet, dass sie das Unternehmen mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit weiterempfehlen würden, und 1 bedeutet, dass sie es mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht weiterempfehlen würden.
Anhand der Antworten können die Arbeitnehmer in drei verschiedene Kategorien eingeteilt werden:
- Projektträger
Mitarbeiter, die positiv geantwortet oder zugestimmt haben. - Kritiker
Mitarbeiter, die sich negativ geäußert haben oder nicht einverstanden waren. - Passive
Mitarbeiter, die sich bei ihren Antworten neutral verhalten haben.
