How to Use This Book

This book is filled with proven recognition and reward strategies to help you build your employees’ self-esteem, job satisfaction, and productivity.

Just as you would not go to a restaurant and order every item on the menu at one sitting, you should not try to apply all of these ideas at once. The best approach is to read through the book and take the following steps:

Circle the ideas you like best.

Highlight the ones you can start now.

Set longer-term dates to implement your other favorites.

Come back to the book every 90 days to select additional ideas.

Give your employees copies of this book and meet with them to discuss the ideas they like best, and set some dates to implement those that are feasible as well. If you want to use a particular idea, but it does not perfectly fit your company, do a little brainstorming with your team and you will most likely come up with a perfect solution.

It is important to remember that all of the ideas in this book have been successfully applied in businesses large and small throughout the world. And there is every reason to believe they will have an equally successful impact in your company!
