FAA’s greatest strength is its employees.
Our employees are highly skilled, committed to the FAA
mission, diverse, energetic, creative, talented, and
dedicated to doing their very best. FAA employee
contributions have resulted in measurable savings to the
Government as well as numerous intangible benefits.
Studies indicate that employees find personal
recognition more motivational than money. In a recent
survey by the Council of Communication Management, the
results confirm what almost every employee already
knows—recognition for a job well done is the top motivator
of employee performance.
Besides the standard monetary (cash) awards and time-off
awards, we have wide latitude to tailor informal
recognition to fit specific occasions, and FAA encourages
acknowledgement of employee’s activities and services.
With a little creativity (and very little or no budget)
informal recognition can be a powerful tool to make the
workplace more productive, positive, and enjoyable.
And, with the assistance of the tools in
this guide, praising, recognizing and rewarding these
employees for their hard work has just become a lot easier. |
