1001 Ways to Reward Employees
Author: Bob Nelson
The vice president of a leading management-training and consulting company has delved extensively into the issue of employee rewards and put together an idea-filled reference to making the person/achievement/reward equation work.
Whether you manage a department, oversee a division, lead a company -- or run a family business with just one employee -- there's an essential principle to follow that's too often overlooked: What most motivates the people who work for you is recognition.
A chock-full guide to rewards of every conceivable type for every conceivable situation, 1001 Ways to Reward Employees polls the whole of the American business community, finding innovative ideas in every corner. From the spontaneous gesture of praise to formal company-wide programs, it presents hundreds of ways to say thank you to the people who truly deserve it.
