FROM ATTA BOYS TO SHOUT-OUTS Why Every Independent Pharmacy Needs an Employee Recognition Program
With so much on our plates, it’s easy to overlook one simple but powerful tool for improving morale and performance: employee recognition . If you’re not ready for — or simply can’t afford — a bonus program, don’t worry. A recognition program can be just as impactful. Employees don’t just want a paycheck; they crave acknowledgment and encouragement. THE FOUNDATION FOR EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT We’re big fans of bonus programs here, but let’s face it — not every pharmacy can offer one. That’s okay! Recognition programs
are an affordable and highly effective way to show your team you value their hard work. Think of it as the foundation for building a positive workplace culture. Recognizing employees doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Sometimes, a simple “thank you” or acknowledging a specific action can make all the difference. For example, saying, “I saw how you helped Mrs. Smith earlier, and I really appreciate that,” can go a long way toward making an employee feel seen and valued. THE MANY WAYS TO SAY ‘GREAT JOB’ You can acknowledge employees in countless ways, and the best programs use a mix of methods: • Verbally: A quick, heartfelt comment in the moment. • Written: A thoughtful note, email, or card expressing your gratitude. • Publicly: Shout-outs during team meetings or a bulletin board for employee accomplishments. • Privately: A one-on-one conversation showing your appreciation.
