Also listen on

The COVID-19 pandemic also contributed to a dramatic rise in employees working from home. It's too natural for remote workers to feel out of sight and out of mind. Rewards and recognition are among the most critical factors of employee engagement, and a key reason workers can remain or quit. Neglecting this point would undoubtedly have long-term implications for the company during these tough times.

In this episode, Mr. Ramesh Shankar talks about how vital rewards and recognition are in a remote culture. Ramesh says that rewards and recognition are essential at all times and are important at times of crisis. He beautifully explained how a pat on the back or an appreciation letter could work much more wonders than monetary benefits. Furthermore, he talks about how managers can balance work-life in the remote work environment, the influence of technology, and the recent hiring trends.
