Crystal D Publishes Corporate Employee Recognition Planning Guide
Leading manufacturer of crystal awards, Crystal D, has published a new guide outlining five key ingredients to successful employee recognition planning for corporations.
St. Paul, MN (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) June 13, 2005 -- Crystal D (http://www.crystal-d.com), a manufacturer of personalized
crystal, glass, wood, and stone recognition awards, has identified five
ingredients that are essential to recognition planning.
"As a result of
over 15 years experience working with distributors to plan employee recognition
events, we have identified five ingredients essential to recognition planning.
Organizations that have successful recognition programs consider these five
essential ingredients at the start," says Chuck Dahlgren, president.
Corporations use recognition to decrease employee turnover, increase
employee satisfaction, and retain their best employees. "Any organization can
maximize its recognition efforts with proper planning," says Dahlgren. "This
guide is meant to help recognition planners develop meaningful and effective
recognition experiences."
1. Why? Planning an employee recognition
experience requires a clear understanding of the purpose. It is important to
understand exactly why an accomplishment or individual is deserving of
recognition.
2. What? It is essential to know exactly what an individual or
team has accomplished. A recognition experience is most powerful when it is
centered on specific actions and commitment of the individual or team.
3.
How? Individuals have definite preferences in terms of how they prefer to be
recognized and by whom. An employee recognition experience that is tailored to
the preferences of the recipient has the greatest impact.
4. Symbolic. The
most meaningful rewards are symbolic of the accomplishment. When chosen
correctly, recognition awards can remain special symbols of achievement for
years to come.
5. Personalized. Awards should be personalized with the
recipient's name. If the award is also symbolic to the company a company logo
should be included.
