ORGANISATION & CULTURE
Helen builds on this idea by emphasising the importance of“ simplicity, authenticity and continued learning”. She explains that offering clear, in‐the‐moment feedback not only boosts people’ s confidence but also strengthens their self‐awareness, helping them recognise the positive impact they’ re having on customers and colleagues alike.
Micro-recognitions:“ a lovely way to make someone’ s day” Micro‐recognitions may seem small, but they’ re one of the most powerful ways to build an inclusive culture, because they ensure everyday contributions are seen and valued. When people are acknowledged in real time for the impact they make, it creates a workplace where everyone feels they belong.
E. ON has been recognised through multiple accolades for being an inclusive and purpose-driven environment, as it has a“ strong emphasis on continuous learning and skills development”.
Part of this is creating an environment of belonging, where everyone feels seen – from big wins and smaller successes. To ensure these recognitions feel personal, timely and meaningful, E. ON created a Buzz peer-to-peer recognition platform as a simple solution to allow colleagues to acknowledge each other’ s effort and celebrate success through a digital card.
