Designing and Implementing Recognition Programs that Work
The most cost-effect solution to employee morale challenges!
It is difficult to maintain morale
during an economic downturn, but not impossible.
There is a proven formula for
maintaining morale using employee recognition. If employees feel valued your
organization can not only survive, but often thrive
during a downturn.
The next series
runs January 6 to February 10, 2009, 10:00-11:00 PST/1:00-2:00 EST.

have read
Make Their Day you might remember the story of Remedy, the company
that coped with economic hardship and parent company scandals, and managed to
come through it with improved customer service, increased
revenue, and steady employee morale.
To make this happen they needed a
culture of recognition.
You can create a
positive recognition culture!
You can't achieve the level
of engagement that produces exceptional results with gift cards or an employee
of the month award. Program development must be built on a rock solid
foundation and adhere to the principles of meaningful recognition.
Private consulting on making
effective culture change can be costly. Chances are good that you don't have
the budget right now to bring an expert in to oversee a full-scale
culture change. I know for many of my readers working for small businesses and
nonprofits this was never an option.
A Cost-Effective Solution There is an alternative that your
organization can afford. For your $299* investment, you and your colleagues
can attend a weekly webinar series, six sessions in all, where you will learn
the basics of designing and implementing a recognition initiative.
This is a popular program and
because I only run it once per year, you will want to
register soon.
Tools, guides, and assessments. The webinar series includes lots of
materials that will help you with your program.
You will receive:
Cost of Turnover Worksheets
Executive Commitment Checklist
Catalysts for Manager Commitment
Training Needs Assessment
A copy of Recognition
Strategies that Work
24 Questions to Ask Before You
Design
Implementation Tables
Sample Timeline to Rollout
Private consultation
included: In addition to the six-hour course you will receive five
assignments that will help you prepare your initiative. When you turn in the
assessments and planning documents (one set per organization) I will review
them and provide you with my analysis, in essence a private consultation
on each of five topics.
When you complete the course your
organization will also receive a half-hour private phone consultation that you
can use anytime within the following six months. To get this level of
attention for your organization alone, you would have to invest at least
$4000.
