Employers like the NHS 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 private email or chat from your manager, monetary rewards, employee of the month, etc.) and include those you enjoy receiving.

"I value kind words, and when someone takes the time to send me a handwritten note or email, whether a manager, coworker, patient, or family member. I also appreciate public recognition, like a shout-out during a team meeting or a blurb in a company newsletter. I also appreciate it when someone asks me to teach someone else something. I think that's the highest form of flattery and recognition!"
