Thanks Anne and Doug and David!
This group is for those who want to learn more about best practice employee recognition and to share ideas on this important engagement tool
Hi Agnes --
Two quick thoughts:
- leaders/managers are part of the solution but so are peers. For years Delta ran a recognition program where 80% of the recognition awards were peer-to-peer (and no money value attached.) Managers can't be omnipres…

I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
