Most
managers understand the importance of giving their employees
recognition and rewards, but when it comes to actually doing so, they
often come up empty or use outdated, ineffective strategies. 151 Quick
Ideas to Recognize and Reward Employees will help managers stock up.
Recognition
and rewards are consistently found to be among the most powerful of all
motivators for employees at any job level. In fact, when employees are
asked to describe their most satisfying experiences at work, they
frequently mention situations in which they received recognition and
rewards for their performance. And, importantly, when managers are
skilled in providing this type of feedback, their employees typically
reward them with increased productivity, commitment, and overall
performance.

However, just like customers who always order the
same old entree at a restaurant, managers tend to choose the same old
kinds of recognition and rewards. Some traditional rewards still work
well, of course, but there is always room for new ideas.

151
Quick Ideas to Recognize and Reward Employees offers you the full menu
of recognition and reward strategies. It comes with detailed
descriptions of the most popular ideas in business, plus others that are
destined to become classics. Ideas such as:
* Enriching jobs by giving employees more autonomy and decision-making responsibilities.
* Purchasing personally signed books suited to the potential you see in each employee.
* Allowing employees opportunities to attend seminars, classes, or even pursue a degree.
