Improve engagement, productivity, and motivation with effective
employee recognition

Recognizing and Engaging Employees for Dummies gives you
the tools and information you need to improve morale, productivity,
and personal achievement with a successful employee recognition
program. Written by a world-leading authority in employee
recognition, this book walks you step-by-step through the design
and implementation process and describes the incentives that work,
the behaviors to reward, and the mechanisms that must be in place
for the program to be effective in the long term. You'll learn how
to pinpoint the places where engagement and recognition could
improve the bottom line, and how to structure the reward for
optimal balance between motivational, financial, and organizational
effectiveness. With clear explanations and a fun, friendly style,
this book is your quick and easy guide to boosting productivity,
profit, and customer satisfaction.

the driving factor. When your employees feel appreciated, they
stick around, work harder, achieve more, and drive your business
onward and upward. This book shows you how to bring that dynamic to
your workplace, with step-by-step guidance and helpful advice.

* Design successful recognition programs

* Create powerful incentives for employees

* Foster a happier and more productive workplace

Happy employees are productive employees. They get results. They
innovate. They are the force behind the advancement of industries.
Effective employee recognition programs are self-sustaining
motivational tools that keep the fire lit. If you're ready to spark
the flame, Recognizing and Engaging Employees for Dummies is
the ideal guide for designing, implementing, and maintaining the
program your employees have been waiting for.
