About This Book

This book advances the practice of recognition—to make it a more viable part of as many relationships, groups, and organizations as possible. Although this book primarily focuses on the value of recognition in the world of business, it also serves as a manifesto of sorts.

The book argues how the practice of recognition will enhance not just the effectiveness of organizations but the effectiveness of families and communities, and even society at large.

Comprehensive and fully integrated on the topic of employee recognition and rewards, the book is both a resource and an application guide to help one get the best results from their reward and recognition efforts. This book is not intended just to be read but is meant to be used “in the field” where it can have the greatest impact. Special features of the book include thought-provoking quotes and real-world examples along with a complete suite of recognition assessment and measurement tools, recognition planning checklists, recognition planning worksheets, and recognition training designs.
