| Description: |
Yes, it's a tough economy, and that makes keeping your workforce happy more important than ever, especially since your workers are probably clocking longer hours and juggling more responsibility than ever before.
In fact, almost 90 percent of U.S. employers offer employee recognition programs, according to a recent national survey, and more than half want to offer their workers something new this year.
Unfortunately tighter HR budgets make it difficult to maintain your rewards program, let alone expand it. You’re dealing with the challenge of proving the bottom-line value of your employee rewards to the top managers in your organization—who are undoubtedly trying to cut budgets across the board.
It’s your tough job to bridge that gap between your current recognition programs budget and what you know you should be offering.
Webcast Learning Objectives:- Best practices for recognizing and rewarding workers in today’s increasingly diverse, economically strapped environment
- How to evaluate your current programs to gauge their effectiveness versus their cost
- The most reliable methods of gauging the bottom-line value of recognition programs, as well as tips for communicating that value throughout your organization
- The dos and don’ts of implementing new types of rewards and recognition that your workers actually want to receive—and the traditional rewards that, surprisingly, are still very effective today
- How to manage rewards and recognitions for workers at varying organizational levels, in different offices, and across age ranges (from Boomers to Millennials)
- Recommended rewards for managers on a shoestring budget
- The most common mistakes employers make these days with rewarding and recognizing their employees – and how you can avoid repeating them

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
