JULY 28

Time is of the essence.

TICK. TOCK. TICK. TOCK.

To be effective, recognition should be timely. That means if you need to get approvals before giving a recognition award, get those in the fastest manner possible. Presentations must be made within a few days or weeks of the accomplishment. Wait longer than that and you’ve missed your window of opportunity.

Think this might not be a big deal? Ever missed your wedding anniversary by five minutes? Ever missed a loved one’s birthday? Then you know what we mean. Being timely is vital.
