I’m a manager at Algolia, and my role is to help my team pick the right actions and do them right in a safe environment. Giving celebrations is a great tool to guide my people toward success and to keep them on that road. Culture shapes mindsets and behaviors in the workplace, with nearly 7 in 10 employees wanting more recognition and feeling invisible/undervalued being top reasons for demotivation. Celebrating individuals reinforces their self-esteem by recognizing value and meaningfulness of work, which boosts commitment and reduces turnover. The team sees that all deserving people are celebrated, not just senior or valuable team members, promoting a sense of unity and continuous improvement. Regular celebrations can build trust and visibility across the organization, but managers must ensure they strike a balance between acknowledging successes and failures, using channels like Slack to encourage participation and recognition. To create a positive mindset, consider celebrating milestones, achievements, and great reactions to failures, using alternative methods for those who prefer private recognition. By recognizing and rewarding team members, companies can foster an uplifting culture that drives success.
