Hail With the Chief

Recognition programs that link your employees with the company president are an excellent way to reward your best performers. These programs go by many names, such as the President’s Circle, President’s Club, President’s Team, President’s Forum, and President’s Roundtable.

Assignment

Meet with the president of your company to discuss this program and the specific criteria on which membership should be based. Because this program is tailored to your company and the president, the two of you should also spell out the specifics of such matters as an induction ceremony, future gatherings, and tangible rewards for new honorees.

Membership should be premised on the behaviors and outcomes that are most valued by your company and by the president him- or herself. This type of recognition is often provided to a company’s best salespeople, but it can just as easily be based on success in any number of other areas such as tenure, safety, employee development, voluntarism, or a combination of any of these areas.

Individuals who are selected for this honor should be given a tangible reward that is only provided for this membership. This should always include a special certificate, along with a special coat, pin, or artifact.

Epilogue

Rewarding your employees with membership in a select group chaired by the president is one of the top ways to provide topside recognition.
