Making the most at your workplace with Diana Keith
Recognition Gone Wild
The power of recognition is often an undervalued piece of the total reward (motivation) pie.
Recognition is an easy, fun, and a cost-effective way to motivate people.
Why not use it?
A lot of time and MONEY is spent on getting people to the next level, but keeping people at their peak is another story...
Recognition is a powerful tool that can be used to motivate and elevate your people.
Praise Pays
How do you spread great performance around?
Recognize it! Out loud! Everyday!
Do you have a Recognition Culture at your workplace or with your team?
What does a recognition system look like?
How many of you recognize your people when they...
- Make progress?
- Achieve something great or even good?
- Come up with a productive solution?
- Complete a learning milestone?
Raise your hand if you recognize your people and peers. Keep it in the air if you recognize them consistently. Wave to me if everyone in your company recognizes a job well done... Are you waving?
Is your organization one where recognition reigns?
Does everyone at your organization know that doom and gloom is universally unproductive?
Does your company sway to the beat of its own recognition culture?
If you still have your hands at your sides, a Recognition Culture is a tool used to cement and maintain great performance.
