As more companies from around the world have come to see the value and power of appreciation, they’ve put in place recognition programs. But with 65% of employees saying they don’t feel appreciated and 87% saying their recognition program is “stale, outdated, or used as disguised compensation,” clearly something’s not working.
This book is a call to action and call for change for anyone who is interested in creating a culture of appreciation through their employee recognition strategies and programs, one that doesn’t focus on the fancy trophy, expensive gifts or money, but on a feeling.
A feeling where every employee feels appreciated, not just a few. Where recognition occurs for all of the small things that matter and make a difference, and not just the big ones. Where recognition happens continuously, and not just every year or every five years. And where your people feel valued and appreciated through genuine, meaningful and inclusive recognition.
Packed with practical tips and inspirational stories from over 50 leading companies, this book will drive change and add the exclamation point to appreciation that’s fit for your people and the future!
I started the year with a book I was eager to read, especially since we are working on a project related to Recognition. However, after completing it, I found it to be less beneficial than anticipated. Although the book has numerous list of examples and a well-organized structure, it lacks depth for these who are well familiar with recogntion. While it serves as a useful resource, I would probably recommend it to people who have no defined recognition strategy at all in their company and who is at generalist, mid manager level.
