“People work for the money, but go the extra mile for recognition, praise and rewards.”

—Stuart Levine, CEO, Dale Carnegie and Associates

REWARDS THAT REALLY GO THE DISTANCE

Want to get the most mileage out of employee efforts? (Bet you can guess what we’re going to say) Organize an employee recognition program.

Research by consulting firm DDI shows that “high-involvement programs,” including employee recognition, produce 70 percent better products, services and customer service than when they are lacking. And that’s not all. Programs that get employees involved also yield a 65 percent gain in productivity.

Do the math. It adds up to your success.
