Employee Recognition Case Study

We looked at that and thought “Four people is way too many. There shouldn’t be even one person that doesn’t clearly understand what is expected of them.”
In the same survey mentioned above, respondents were asked if they felt their teammates had their back. While 78.5% said, agree or strongly agree, there was a shocking 21.5% that either disagreed or were indecisive of agreeing or disagreeing. One of the biggest presumptions of school faculty is that it consists of one big group of friends. It is expected that teachers have a strong support system.When you look at the responses to this question, while it was less than half, why are employees in this district feeling that they do not have this? A big portion of empowerment is feeling confident …show more content…
To measure the faculty 's recognition the following statement made a debut in the survey, “I know I will be recognized for excellent work.” A total of 20 people either strongly disagreed, disagreed or were indecisive. Employee recognition lets staff know they are truly valued, giving them a sense of belonging in their workplace. Our interview also solidified this thought when interviewees were faced with this question, “what could be done so that you feel more engaged at work?” The most common response from all of the interviewed faculty was constructive feedback. More than one staff member emphasized how greatly they appreciate hearing how they are doing. It is an extremely critical part of personal growth and should not be excluded. After a consultation with faculty at the high school and middle school, it became apparent that the problems were much larger than imagined. The high school is split into two buildings; the main building and the west wing. The first interviewed teacher resided in the west wing. She stated that it’s a rarity to see the principal or the district administrators throughout the week like in other classrooms. This is a sign of the communication problem that Payette School District is struggling with. This lacking factor is vital to the optimal function of any business and a school is no different. Without proper communication teachers and other faculty are missing out on great opportunities. Luckily …show more content…
To help this situation, the first recommended step would be the purchase of tablets for the school district’s administrators. Although this may be a bit more expensive, extensive results are predicted. Every two weeks administrators would be able to step into classrooms to perform evaluations in fifteen minute blocks. Ten minutes would be spent to observe and listening to the teacher conduct class. This would include taking notes. Then five minutes would be spent to type up and then email the results to the teacher. By using the tablets, administrators don’t have to go back to the office and try to remember from just notes, they can type up their feedback in the moment and move on to the next teacher right away. They will be more able to understand what they are doing correctly, giving them a sense of accomplishment. This method will also tie into employee positive reinforcement. Ipad airs have been budgeted for this. The reviews are excellent and after research it was discovered that apple technology would be the easiest for administrators to understand and use. Apple also has a broad variety of highly acclaimed applications (apps) available to assist them in their feedback. Such as Google drive and the Evernote
