How do you like to be recognized for your accomplishments?
Employers like Progressive want to ensure their employees feel recognized and rewarded for their achievements. When employees feel recognized, morale and performance increase. Each individual has different preferences regarding how they like to be recognized, so be honest and genuine in your response. Consider various ways recognition is given (public praise in a staff meeting, a private email or chat from your manager, monetary rewards, employee of the month, etc.) and include those you enjoy receiving.
"I am very much an over-achiever and find that the best way to be recognized for a job well done is through words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged, and the best reward is to know that my hard work is noticed."
"I do not particularly love public recognition, so I would say the best way to recognize me for my accomplishments would be an increase in responsibilities and continued autonomy."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I would love to know my good work, and if my manager can appreciate my LinkedIn page, that will be a great motivation for my work. I have got so many rewards and awards in my current role, and I would love to have a public meeting or private meeting with my manager on both excellent work as well as lousy work so that I can correct myself.
