Money is important to all of us, but it’s a low-level need in Maslow’s Hierarchy, so by definition, it’s not motivating. Consider this: You can give a gift valued at 1% of an employee’s salary, and if done enthusiastically, they’ll feel the love.

Explaining the impact of good recognition for employees is the first step in helping to increase employee engagement

Feeling undervalued at work? and also facing inadequate compensations Here's how to negotiate your worth! If your paycheck doesn't match your efforts, it's time to take action.

Thanks again to Corporate Rebels for giving me a chance to talk about my journey into the self-managing and progressive orgs space as well as how we have been doing at Rebel Energy UK. I should have also mentioned on the webinar that people who are 'intrinsically-motivated' should also not be punished. A reward/recognition process should not be designed to favour those more forthcoming with their monetary and general recognition needs. Some of the best people I have worked with over my working life have been heavy on humility and the corporate world has taken advantage of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're in the UK and have a dream or goal to get your organisation more progressive and break free from the shackles of corporate BS reach out as we have a UK Rebel cell here in the spirit of Corporate Rebels philosophy. Defo check out Corporate Rebels academy linked below - it has been beneficial for us Rebel Energy UK as we continue on our journey and the insights and access to pioneering organisations across the world is not something you can find anywhere else.

Salary transparency has been on my mind a lot lately! Personally, I love that it's become the new normal, but from the candidate side it can be confusing understanding it all. Amy Miller makes some great points here. Companies will typically post the full salary range, but figuring out the midpoint of the band is a good starting place. As she said, we factor a lot of variables into an offer, and every company is a bit different with their philosophy. We look at skills, qualifications, and experience compared to the minimum requirements listed in the description, but we still need to allow room for growth in the band, AND we have to consider where other folks already sit from a comp standpoint in that job grade/job code for pay equity. Some good tips here for how to navigate and understand this aspect of the job hunt!

Just Because you Fit in... Doesn't mean it's BEST for you! ✨💯 I just came accross this image on my social feed and rendered about the exact thoughts that are now running in your minds! 🙌 Our worth in any organization goes beyond the salary. It's about the unique value we bring, our expertise, and our dedication. I believe we should strive to make meaningful contributions and ensure our worth is recognized. 🥂👏 Let's mitigate the adjustments employees make solely for their salary, and focus on fostering environments where everyone's worth is truly appreciated and rewarded.✨ Do comment your experience or moments when you took a stand for yourself! 💯💪 #KnowYourWorth #ValueRecognition #EmployeeEngagement
