Recognition Rebooted: A Smarter Approach to Employee Recognition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781733618304)

Employee Recognition as we know it gets rebooted For Managers and HR professionals.

What if most employee recognition best practices are wrong? What if it's not the gift card, anniversary award, or the mug that's making the difference? Many organizations assume they are doing fine with their approach to employee recognition, but most employees don't agree. More than 65% of employees feel under-recognized, which matters because they are twice as likely to quit in the next year. With good intentions, traditional recognition approaches often undermine your organization and end up making it harder for leaders and costly to the business.

Employee recognition as we know it is not working. Finally an easier, smarter, and faster solution that does work and results in employees who give their full effort, love working with you, and stay with you.

Eye-opening, original, and researched-based, Recognition Rebooted is your competitive advantage in how to lead employees who feel valued, deliver their best, and stay with you. The best news? The skills that matter most are easy, readily available in this book, and they work. Recognition Rebooted will help managers and HR professionals learn:

• The problem with service awards, rewards, and public recognition
• Easy and applicable tools that work immediately
• How effective recognition impacts you and the bottom line. (hint: more best effort, less job hopping)
• Cost-saving concepts to immediately apply to your existing recognition program

With humor, humility, and proven data, two leaders in a fictitious business provide a sneak peek into how recognition works in most organizations--well-intentioned but ineffective. Using a few purposeful and thoughtful tools, they demonstrate how to show genuine appreciation for work well done, showing increased performance and retention with a benefit to the bottom line.

What's more, Recognition Rebooted requires no transformation of your organization or program, nor buy-in from other busy leaders. It's just you and your team. If those other things do happen--and they probably will--that's an added bonus.

Whether or not you have an existing recognition program, make your job easier and let Recognition Rebooted come to the rescue
