Research consistently shows that appreciation and recognition are key drivers of employee satisfaction. Feeling seen and valued by others meets a fundamental human need, and while recognition from managers is important, appreciation among peers is equally powerful. Peer-to-peer recognition happens when team members celebrate one another’s efforts and achievements, building a culture of trust, gratitude, and collaboration. Organizations that promote this kind of recognition often experience higher engagement, stronger morale, and reduced turnover.
This course explores the importance of peer-to-peer recognition and offers practical tools for recognizing and celebrating colleagues in meaningful ways.
