Rewards & Recognition
In the past few years numerous studies have proven that one of the top motivators of employee engagement, satisfaction and loyalty is recognition. Employees in a recognition-focused organization are 5 times more likely to feel valued, 6 times more likely to invest in the company, 7 times more likely to stay, and 11 times more likely to feel completely satisfied. Extensive research shows a direct correlation between the perceived use of recognition in companies and the profitability of those firms. The financial return of Fortune’s Best Places to Work is over 225% higher over a six-year period as compared with overall market returns; companies with higher employee satisfaction scores (driven by feeling valued for the work they do ) have been shown to have a 700 % higher shareholder return. Wolf Management will show how recognition represents the single most validated principle for driving desired behavior and performance in today’s competitive work environments. We will take your organization through the seven essential recognition principles and discuss the creation of a Total Rewards & Recognition Culture.
