18 Employee Recognition Messages to Boost Morale & Engagement

Employee recognition and rewards are used to boost morale and engage employees in their work. Engaged employees bring more to work than their presence; they work with passion and dedication, they enjoy what they do, and they enjoy making money for your company. 

Recognition in its simplest form? Messages. Especially the hand-written kind. Kind, encouraging, and celebratory words can be powerful tools in boosting employee engagement in morale. The most effective recognition is given often, frequently, and among peers. 

Here are 18 employee recognition messages for motivating and elevating employees:

1. There’s no other way to say it: we’d be lost without you.
2. Is there anything you can’t do?!
3. Thank you for being the perfect role model.
