]]> Comment on Recognition for the Generations by Monday http://recognizeright.com/2009/06/22/recognition-for-the-generations/#comment-57 Monday Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:04:55 +0000 http://recognizeright.com/?p=65#comment-57 Hi Louise - What a great article! Thanks for publishing the kind of information that shares insights into recognition and incentive techniques, specifically as related to different generations in the workplace. Just as managers, of any generation, expect immediate results from their employees, it should come as no surprise that employees appreciate more immediate feedback on their performance. One can begin to see this need more clearly if they begin to think about the culture of Gens Y and X and how these generations have grown up in an immediate-feedback world of video games, social networking tools, and technological information resources such as the internet. I believe anyone of any generation wants to know that his or her manager recognizes high performance and effort. Immediate forms of recognition not only demonstrates appreciation, but creates a high-performance work environment where *everyone* can begin to feel engaged in seeking out those best practices which lead to success. Again - thanks for the great article on recognition for managers and their employees, generations, best practices! Hi Louise – What a great article!

It was actually one of my goals to implement this year along with little emails or notes telling someone "Good Job". "Thank You" and "Good Job" can go a long way with your employees in times like these. This is a great reminder!

Otherwise,they're just empty words adding to the daily clamor of our work and professional lives. When managers look into the eyes of their employees and utter those simple words, "Thank you," it's possible to move mountains.

I do not think we can remind ourselves enough to say "thank-you" more often. We strive to give employees the recognition they deserve, and are looking for, in our workplace. As owners we are constantly reminded that recognition on the job is one of the top keys to employee satisfaction. This is an easy and cost effective way to give the recognition people are looking for...thanks for the reminder! Louise – I couldn’t agree with you more.

So as a self-proclaimed expert on employee behavior, morale and job satisfaction, I'd say any leader who is saying reward programs are not in the budget, hopefully either has little control over it or someone else should be in charge. And, the key to getting 90% to behave like the top 10%, is to replace the 90%, with top talent, then train, develop and reward. My favorite program at AP was the on the spot thank you cards with reward points. It was real-time, tangible and personable. I hear two crazy things today, "we're not hiring currently" and "we can't afford to do it". Whatever "it" may be, which is often compensation/reward related. I think those companies should get new leaders. We're in an unprecedented time to get top talent at a reasonable price, and rewards for them should be frequent and valuable as the tides will turn and at some point top talent will be hard to procure again...the Baby-boomers will retire, it was just delayed. Hire all the time, get 90% top producers and REWARD THEM WELL! I have now been in business in various roles for many years, almost 25 to be exact.

Thank you and your entire team of professionals for spreading the upbeat attitude that you do. When I was 13, I was "the fat kid" that everyone made fun of. I vowed to seek my revenge by making their day -- every day. I set out to make someone's day happier every day of my life. Sometimes I forget -- and sometimes I don't "wanna" do it, but I TRY. Your blog message goes hand-in-hand ... I love it! As always, Louise, you're a bright spot (and you've surrounded yourself with exceptional people who are bright spots, too). You’re dead-on, Louise!
