“Recognition is like a small drop of oil in the machinery of business… it just makes things run a little smoother.”

—Obert C.Tanner, founder, recognition industry

RUNNING MORE SMOOTHLY

Obert Tanner realized this in 1940, when he recognized the need for corporations to reward their people with service awards. For Obert, recognition revolved around the Golden Rule—do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And it served him well.

Ask yourself, don’t you feel better about your work life when you are receiving praise and recognition on a regular basis? Don’t you think your employees want that drop of oil in their lives too?
