''In today’s workplace, employee motivation is a crucial driver of organisational performance and success. In recent research, I explored how Human Resource Management practices, particularly in reward and recognition, can impact employee engagement, motivation, and job satisfaction, which all influence performance and retention within an organisation.

The findings of my research revealed that effective reward and recognition systems go beyond financial incentives. Non-monetary forms of recognition, such as career development opportunities and flexible work arrangements, also have a lasting impact on motivation and engagement. It should be noted that employees value being seen and appreciated, which helps to strengthen their commitment and performance within the organisation.

Additionally, reward systems must be transparent and inclusive to maintain trust. When recognition is perceived as genuine and equitable, it strengthens the psychological bond between employees and the organisation.

In conclusion, recognition and reward should not be a one-time event but an ongoing culture embedded in daily interactions. This type of culture helps organisations build employees who are not only motivated to perform their duties but also committed to stay and grow. The effectiveness of human resource management reward and recognition practices lies in their ability to align organisational goals with employee values.
