One topic that I’ve been thinking more about is individually-tailored recognition programs. As part of my position, I’ve been tasked with improving data collection and analysis and evaluating the impact of the work we do across the organization. As such, I’m a data-driven person who seeks to recognize staff with identifying improvements in outcomes and metrics we’re tracking; however, as I build this evaluation process, it’s important to recognize that numbers are not important to everyone, and I need to consider alternate ways of recognizing improved metrics and outcomes that doesn’t make it feel like impersonal numbers, but a way of recognizing work well done, even if the recognition is data-supported- it doesn’t need to be data-forward.
