The Simple Truths of Appreciation and Recognition—Low Cost or No-cost Ideas to Keep Employees Engaged

Workplace Application: In this inspiring session Barbara will share nine simple truths of appreciation and recognition as well as dozens of creative ways, at little or no cost, to keep employees happy and productive.

In these tough economic times of having to do more with less, it is critical to find other ways besides money to keep employees engaged. Sixty-five percent of American workers said they received NO appreciation all last year for the good work they had done, yet the second most important thing people want from their jobs is full appreciation. The beauty of appreciation is that we can each give it to anyone we choose for no cost except our awareness and a few moments of our time.
