- Description: This paper presents the occasion for organizations to investigate the need to transition towards a team-based approach of employee recognition. A theoretical framework of employee recognition is presented. Employee recognition is largely recognized as a managerial practice, and have been in practice in terms of individual-based recognition within organizations. Many organizations are looking for a way forward to approach this matter in a strategic manner, and understand the implications of team-based recognition on employees and the organization itself. Employee recognition has placed major impact on work performance, team effectiveness and organizational success. The paper explores motivational theories linked to employee recognition and elaborates on the effective utilization of recognition programs. Subsequently, the impact of employee recognition on employees are reviewed. The consequences and implications of team-based employee recognition are further evaluated. The paper is a qualitative study based on utilizing secondary data and presents a conceptual paper. The current study has reviewed various literature on remuneration, compensation, employee recognition, motivation and teamwork. This paper further suggests that organizations needs to be cognizant of the implications and consequences of team-based recognition on employees, work outcomes and employee behaviour.
