Webinar Abstract

Event Type: Webinar

When: Thursday 25th February 2010

Cost: US$700

Do you believe that recognising employees only distracts everyone from "real" business, triggers jealousy, or makes you look soft? Think again. The best managers regularly provide recognition to their employees. But they don't use the usual brand--a simple pat on the back or a "Good Job, Mate!"

Instead, exceptional managers use purpose-based recognition. They express appreciation in meaningful, memorable, and consistent ways--and their recognition is specific, timely, and frequent. They also combine recognition with four additional ingredients essential to great leadership: goal-setting, communication, trust, and accountability.

In this virtual seminar, employee engagement and motivation experts Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton explain how to start building a culture of purposed-based recognition in your organisation--and begin reaping the payoff. 

You'll discover:

  • The four building blocks of a purpose-based recognition culture
  • Common obstacles to effective recognition and ways to overcome them
  • How to measure the impact of your recognition policies on employee engagement, satisfaction, and performance
  • Strategies for sustaining purpose-based recognition in your organisation
