Make the difference in your team’s careers as well as your practice. This interactive session invites you to reboot the common, unproductive traditions of employee recognition and rewards. Learn a smarter, more productive approach that results in team members giving their full effort and staying with you. With good intentions most practices focus on WHAT to give, rather than HOW to deliver meaningful recognition. For example, rewards are routinely given in place of, or without meaningful recognition - falling flat. Or key contributors see less productive peers also get recognized which is instead demotivating. And more creative approaches are often unsustainable with disappointing outcomes.

Participants will gain:
1) A clear understanding of how ineffective appreciation ties with job hopping
2) A simple tool for delivering meaningful recognition
3) Tips and cautions to apply or to build upon your own practice’s recognition approach
