DOs and DON’Ts of Great Recognition Programs
Before you create an employee recognition program read these tips for what to do and what not to do for an effective program.
Opportunity as Recognition
In Make Their Day! Employee Recognition That Works, Cindy Ventrice outlines the four elements of recognition. The least understood element is Opportunity. This article explains why opportunity is an important part of the recognition equation.
Leadership and Employee Recognition
Whether you are the head of a large organization or the leader of a small team, you have a critical role in employee recognition. If you were thinking that recognition was someone else's responsibility, you need to read this article.
Recognition and Rewards: Who’s Got the Time These Days, Not to Mention the $$$?
With statistics, such as Salary.com’s February 2009 survey reporting that 68% of employees are actively looking for new jobs NOW, HR needs to find a way to retain workers before the economy regains strength and they jump ship. A report by the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) identified employee recognition as a key factor in retaining top performing workers. Employee recognition seems simple enough…knowing this, what’s holding us back from firing this magic bullet? Is it time? Is it money?
Employee Recognition and Praise. Does it improve performance and productivity? Does it keep them motivated and loyal?
Maintaining a motivated staff is not always the easiest of tasks, but it does pay off for you, your customers and the employee. This article focuses on closing off periods, or events, with employee recognition. If you want to avoid losing your best employees, and encourage others to do better recognizing them publicly may save yourself the time and money of having to find and re-train new staff.

Everyone wants to be recognized for their hard work. Recognition gives incentive for employees to stay loyal to their organization, and promotes their continued hard work. Although the economy has gotten better, there still seems to be some challenges in financially supporting some employee recognition programs. In this issue of Astronology, we will explore low-cost ways of engaging employees, and helping them to see, even in challenging times, that their loyalty and dedication are appreciated.

Like improvement efforts, effective reward and recognition is an integrated process, not a bolt-on program. Since you can't make your team or organization into something different than you, it has to start with you. Whose needs are your recognition and reward systems designed to serve? What are the goals? Are they to manipulate, control, and "motivate?" Or do they build an atmosphere of helpfulness, appreciation, and high energy? How do you know? As with beauty, quality, or customer service, reward and recognition are in the eyes of the beholder.

Reward and Recognition Reinforce Paternalism or Partnerships
It seemed like a good idea at the time. As The Achieve Group (my first training and consulting company) was rapidly growing and hiring new people, I put together a sales incentive and recognition program. It had increasingly bigger prizes, bonuses, travel, and awards with each sales level or "club" achieved. At one of our meetings, I excitedly unveiled my new reward and recognition program.
