valorisation des efforts

French to English Bus/Financial Human Resources employee survey
I'm confused about the difference between "reconnaissance des efforts" (which employees are satisfied with) and "valorisation des efforts personnels" (which they're not satisfied with). Is "non-valorisation des efforts personnels" a euphemistic way of saying they don't get the raises they feel they deserve for their achievements? Thanks, Karen

Pour une politique RH plus attractive

Les points de satisfaction (plus de 60% de satisfaits)
- La reconnaissance des efforts, la formation, la mobilité, le transfert de savoir faire
Cependant des verbatims évoquent l’inéquité et la non valorisation des efforts personnels
- Les managers sont plus positifs sur les possibilités de developpement professionnel que les non managers

area of confusion The reason for my confusion is that the two seem to contradict each other: how can they be satisfied and dissatisfied at the same time with the company's recognition of their efforts

benefits/rewards for efforts

Their efforts are recognised (congratulatory e-mail from line manager, name mentioned at staff meeting, etc.), but not rewarded (promotion, pay rise, new chair, ...).

agree bistefano : this is the meaning, with a bit less strong nuance in original French phrase

comment

valorisation and reconnaissance usually go together

my guess would be that it is too subjective
and are they unhappy with valorisation or non-valorisation?

being discontent with non-valorisation is an easy one to understand: similar to non-reconnaisance

2 separate points here:
1) 60%-probably from a (written) poll
2) verbatims - different answers which cannot be(were not)numerically evaluated

it is normal that verbal comments may differ from written forms because forms are usually multiple choice questions while oral interview questions are usually open ended. This is why both types of comments are requested.
