Earthwatch give pubic recognition at mission meetings and there are thank you cards from Senior Management. They have a very robust intranet to share information, social events and photos. Recent achievements are communicated at the monthly mission meetings attended by all staff. Emails are sent by Heads of Department about departmental achievements with accolades to individuals who are highly accomplished.

As an environmental organisation, Earthwatch recognises that their day to day operation has an impact on the local, regional and global environments. They are committed to continuous improvements in their own performance and have development policies that enable them to put in place a strategy and process by which their efforts towards sustainable environmental improvements can be measured and monitored on an on-going basis.

Earthwatch Institute has a holiday party, summer picnic, going away parties and birthday celebrations. Senior Management can take out team members to dinner to celebrate recent successes.
