ST. LOUIS, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott Scully, CEO of Abstrakt, emphasizes the power of mandatory employee recognition as a catalyst for engagement, productivity, and long-term retention in the workplace. His recent insights challenge the traditional performance-driven work culture, advocating for a shift toward more structured appreciation policies.

"As the CEO of a large workforce, I often only hear about employees at the extreme ends of performance—either excelling beyond expectations or facing HR challenges. It can be easy to overlook the daily contributions that fuel our success," Scully shared. "By requiring team members to recognize one another, we create a culture where appreciation is the norm, not the exception."

Abstrakt's approach includes personalized recognition, from small rewards like coffee gifts to unique experiences such as concert tickets. Leveraging tools like Slack, the company ensures transparent visibility of employee contributions, fostering cross-departmental collaboration and morale.

Scully continued, "When creating recognition policies, it's essential to customize rewards and establish clear guidelines. This approach not only rewards top performers but also builds a culture of positivity and continuous improvement."
