What is day-to-day recognition?

Day-to-day recognition refers to frequent, informal, and spontaneous appreciation for small but meaningful contributions — for example, saying “Thank you” for a helpful action, sending a quick note of praise, or acknowledging someone’s effort in a team meeting. This kind of recognition helps keep morale high and lets employees know their work is noticed and valued on a regular basis.
