Creating a Culture of Recognition: March Employee Recognition Dates

 

Springtime is upon us, and the days get longer once daylight saving time starts. That gives you more daylight to incorporate an employee recognition program into your workplace culture.

 

While some may know March as the month of the Leprechaun (cue St. Patrick’s Day celebrations) March brings more than a dozen opportunities to express appreciation and recognition to your employees -- no matter the size or occupation.We are sure there is a date that you can use to recognize your employees!

 

Let’s dive in:
