SESSION ABSTRACT: The Number One reason why employees leave their jobs today is that they don't receive praise or recognition for the work they've done well. Most managers think their employees are only motivated by money even though employees themselves typically report other items as being more significant in their jobs. The speakers will share a process for building recognition into the culture of your organization based upon their co-authored book The 1001 Rewards & Recognition Fieldbook, their research, as well as ongoing work with hundreds of organizations on the topic of rewards & recognition. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Explore the importance of recognition for today?s employees. Apply specific ideas and techniques to leverage your existing recognition practices. Use a process for building an ongoing culture of recognition where you work.
