Procrastination

Lack of recognition occurs when an individual’s contributions, achievements, or hard work go unacknowledged or unrewarded. This oversight can significantly impact employee motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction. When employees feel undervalued, they may experience decreased morale, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Recognition is a fundamental human need, and its absence can create a negative work environment. Organizations that fail to recognize their employees' efforts risk damaging their employer brand and hindering their ability to attract and retain top talent. Effective recognition programs are essential for fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.

Examples:

Overlooking achievements: Failing to acknowledge employee accomplishments.

Inequitable rewards: Distributing rewards unfairly or inconsistently.

Lack of public acknowledgment: Not recognizing employees in front of peers.

Ignoring employee feedback: Disregarding employee suggestions or ideas.

Insufficient appreciation: Failing to express gratitude for employees' contributions.

Employees feeling undervalued should take proactive steps. This might involve documenting accomplishments, seeking feedback on performance, and initiating conversations with supervisors about career goals and recognition expectations. It's essential to maintain a professional and constructive approach, focusing on the impact of their work rather than personal feelings.  Ultimately, advocating for oneself is crucial in a work environment where recognition might be lacking.

Addressing lack of recognition requires a multifaceted approach. Organizations should implement formal recognition programs, provide opportunities for peer-to-peer recognition, and create a culture where appreciation is valued. By investing in employee recognition, organizations can reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction, improved employee engagement, and enhanced organizational performance.

Lack of Recognition - Episode 116

Bir öğretmen gemiye binmiş. Gemiciye, “Sen hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okudun mu?” diye sormuş. Gemici “Hayır, daha önce hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okumadım.” diye cevap vermiş. Bunun üzerine öğretmen, gemiciye “Ömrünün yarısı mahvolmuş.” demiş.
Gemici çok sinirlenmiş, kalbi kırılmış ama öğretmene hiçbir şey söylememiş. Bir süre sonra büyük bir fırtına çıkmış, fırtına sebebiyle gemi çok sallanmış. Gemici, öğretmene “Sen yüzme biliyor musun?” diye sormuş. Öğretmen, “Hayır, yüzme bilmiyorum.” demiş. O zaman gemici, öğretmene şunları söylemiş: Şimdi senin ömrünün tamamı mahvoldu. Çünkü gemi biraz sonra batacak!

"Not all heroes wear capes."

This is a phrase that's often used online to talk about normal people who do amazing things.

They don't need a cape — like Superman — to do something amazing.

But here's a hero who not only didn't wear a cape — he didn't have a name either.

Or at least, he kept his name a secret.

This is the story of a Filipino man in Japan who saved a young boy from the sea in Fukuoka city.

A 6-year-old boy was at Hakozaki pier with his family when he fell about 2 meters down into the water below. His family didn't notice at first that he had fallen, but the Filipino man did.

He was fishing nearby, and jumped into the sea to keep the boy safe while they waited to be helped out of the water.

The 6-year-old was not wearing a life jacket, and the coast guard said if the man had not jumped in, the boy could have been in trouble.

The Filipino man, who is 26 and lives in Fukuoka, gave his details to the coast guard afterward. But when the family asked for his name and his contact information, he declined and went home.

Some reports said he replied that he was not worth identifying.

SoraNews24 said the man replied in Japanese: "I'm not important enough for people to need to be concerned about my name."

The website said this is a phrase that is more likely to be used in action movies or manga, perhaps by a hero who has just saved the day.

The Filipino man was not hurt, while the boy was taken to hospital.
