AGL 123: Rewards and Recognition

Today I’m back with a solo show about rewards and recognition. I started the draft of this episode more than a year ago but I haven’t found the right time to air it… until now.

REWARD & RECOGNITION

Rewards often involve something of monetary value being given to an employee or team in response to achieving something pretty great.  A recognition, however, is something that doesn’t need to be associated with an accomplishment, but it can be.  A recognition is usually praise or something with  psychological value and not necessarily monetary value. I’ll give some examples on the show.

Today I talked about:

• Rewards vs. recognition
• Separating rewards from pay
• Not rewarding or Recognizing Mediocrity
• Employee Anniversaries
• Thank You Notes
• Celebrating Wins
