Employee recognition survey points out the benefits of a positive workplace
It’s often said that any company’s greatest asset is its people, and this definitely is true for refrigeration contractors. Sure, the refrigeration industry is heavily focused on products and equipment and technology. And don’t forget chemicals – trying to keep track of all the refrigerant changes is enough to make anyone’s head spin. Yet if equipment is the lifeblood of the HVACR industry, then the people at refrigeration companies are its beating heart. And it clearly is in your best interest -- as the contractor whose name is on the door and on the trucks -- to keep your people as happy as possible.
That’s why a recent study caught my eye. It’s titled “The 2016 SHRM/Globoforce Employee Recognition Survey: Employee Experience as a Business Driver.” SHRM stands for the Society of Human Resource Management; Globoforce is a “recognition provider” that specializes in engaging and encouraging employees. The survey was of 798 HR professionals from a wide range of business-to-business and business-to-consumer industries across the United States.
