Leadership Skills 301 - Employee Recognition: Reward & Recognition

We all like to be recognized and feel that the job we are doing is being noticed. It increases our self-esteem and our self-worth. When our manager sees our value to the company, department or ourselves, it increases our drive to do better, because we all want to repeat what makes us feel good as a person. Rewards and recognition appeal to us at a very deep level, as it shows us that we are a worthwhile person in and of ourselves. Once the session is complete, you will be able to differentiate the two levers that drive motivation, identify how and when to recognize someone’s work, and decide when it would be appropriate to reward and recognize one of your team members.
