Employers like Woolworths want to ensure their employees feel recognized and rewarded for their achievements. When employees feel recognized, morale and performance are boosted. 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 note 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 for me to be recognized for a job well done is through words of kindness and recognition. I am easily encouraged, and the best reward for me is to know that my hard work makes a difference."
