Twelve HR
best

recognition
Rewards and recognition
programs have the ability to
impact many aspects of a
business, including employee
engagement, turnover,
productivity, and morale.
2. 360
feedback
 It is a system where
employees are given anonymous
and confidential feedback on
their competencies by their direct
reports, manager, peers, and even
customers.
 To conduct feedback 360,
an online anonymous feedback
form is sent to about 7 to 12
people that covers questions on
a broad range of competencies
related to the employee’s job.
This system enables HR to collect
unbiased feedback, better
understand HR development
requirements (training, behavioral,
leadership etc.), and get a holistic
perspective about a potential
leadership candidate.

sharing
culture

internal knowledge

explain how employees should share

balance, attract top talent, boost
