Partha Patnaik, GM-HR and Administration, Four Soft, pointed out, “Valuing employee means the organization is investing in their development and growth, which in turn adds to the organization’s overall performance through higher levels of organizational learning and knowledge sharing. Recog-nition is the measure of this investment, wherein the qualitative measures (lead indicators like training and development) are converted into quantitative measures like increased efficiency and productivity leading to higher revenues and profits.” Expertus, a learning outsourcing organization, is of the view that recognition is the identification and acknowledgement of one’s effort. When we recognize employees, we acknowledge that they are doing good work and letting them know we appreciate their efforts. Valuing is about appreciating one’s worth and in doing so regarding one in good esteem. When we value employees, we appreciate them for who they are and what they bring to the organization.
