Complimentary Conference: Recognition Training & Communications

by Carol Meyers

Last week, Derek Irvine, Globoforce VP of Strategy and Consulting, wrote on his Recognize This! blog about research that found “creating a new culture or work environment (33 percent) was the most important goal, followed by increasing productivity (28 percent) and retaining top talent (26 percent).” In an earlier post, he explained just how companies can do that with strategic employee recognition.

Understanding the principles of how recognition can be used to change and proactively manage company culture can be the easy part, however. Communicating to employees and managers the value of recognizing each others’ achievements and training them on how to do so appropriately can be the greater challenge.

To help leaders overcome that challenge, Derek is leading a session in the Wednesday, July 13, 2011, HR.com virtual rewards and recognition conference. At 11:00 (Eastern time), Derek will share “The Art and Science of Recognition Training & Communications: The Push and Pull Effects”, explaining how employee recognition serves to pull employees into a company culture and its values and then share (or push) recognition to other people and areas of your organization.

With real-life examples of push-pull communications across the business world, Derek will show how you can use the principles that have made particular songs, book, or movies household names and turn your recognition program into an unequivocal success. Leveraging these principles with the right training and communications, you will create a viral engine of appreciation and positivity that extends far beyond the office walls. Whether you have an existing recognition program or are seeking a new one, this session will provide you with tangible strategies to make recognition the living embodiment of your culture.
