Superglue your culture through meaningful connection and abundant appreciation.
If you had the easiest, fastest, simplest, and no-cost strategy to engage, unite, and retain everyone in your organization, would you want to know about it?
Many passionate, brilliant, hard-working people want to do their best yet feel unappreciated and overworked. Similarly, there are well-intentioned leaders who wish to show appreciation to their people, but they’re busy and unsure if their efforts will make a difference. Add to that a stale and misaligned corporate recognition program, and what you have is the perfect recipe for disengagement and turnover!
How do we bridge the gap between what employees need and what organizations are prepared to do? Recognition is the answer. And it’s easy! All you need to know are the three universal strategies that work instantaneously. As a result, you’re going to raise trust, boost satisfaction, deepen a sense of belonging, and go down in history as the best boss and colleague ever!
This work is magical. And it creates a ripple effect. It gets leaders, employees, and everyone in between excited again. It gives people hope that they can LOVE work again. This session will introduce you to a proven process for self, team, and organizational recognition called F.R.O.G. — Forever Recognize Others’ Greatness. You will walk away ready to take action and shift your culture right away.
Learning outcomes:
- Develop greater confidence in giving and receiving sincere and authentic acknowledgments.
- Understand where your organization is wasting time and money on recognition programs that do not work (and what to do about it).
- Be inspired to apply simple recognition habits at home and work.
- Understand the data and evidence substantiating the exponential power of recognition from a neuroscience, behavioral economics, and work psychology lens.
- Explore what retention-rich organizations do that transforms their employees into an army of recruiters.
