Reward & Recognition

Creating a culture of appreciation through recognition

The Northern Territory Public Sector (NTPS) is committed to creating a positive environment that motivates and encourages employees to succeed through an intrinsic culture of recognising and appreciating the efforts of employees.  

Research indicates that people tend to thrive in organisations that create positive work environments where they have meaning and purpose in their work. Furthermore, employees who feel they receive appropriate recognition are much more likely to be involved in their organisation’s business than those who may feel a lack of recognition.

The research also validates that meaningful recognition attracts and retains the right people, contributes to high performing teams and increases job satisfaction.

In the NTPS, meaningful employee recognition forms part of our workplace culture and aligns to overall values. It is also central to productive working relationships and in sustaining a healthy level of motivation.
