If you are looking for wider recognition for your employees, your local newspaper can be a great place to air their accomplishments, achievements, and successes.

Some of the great things your employees do are indeed news, whether on the job or off, and they can make excellent stories either in the business section or as a piece for a human interest columnist. In addition, some business sections intermittently run columns that announce promotions and other employee developments, and that could be a perfect spot for this recognition.

For the employee or employees who are named, the pride and excitement will be practically palpable. After all, this is recognition from you and the community at large. Interestingly, the rest of your employees are going to feel almost as proud simply by working with whoever is lauded in the paper.
