Recognition Strategies That Work

 

 

 

 

 

 

$18.95    Order now

Organizations spend an estimated 18 billion dollars every year on recognition programs, yet the majority of employees feel inadequately recognized. Why? Programs don’t focus on the most important component of recognition – the manager!

This companion volume builds on the concepts introduced in Make Their Day! Employee Recognition That Works.

Recognition Strategies That Work guides managers through the process of developing a long-lasting recognition habit that will help reduce turnover and increase employee engagement.

Both Make Their Day and Recognition Strategies can be ordered direct from the author.

 

Managing Work Expectations is an assessment tool that will help employees identify and communicate expectations and will provide managers the opportunity to manage those expectations. A proven tool for improving job satisfaction.
