Recommendation

Bob Nelson’s list-packed primer on praising shows you the right and wrong ways to reward high-performing employees. “Dr. Bob” explains the crucial roles that recognition and gratitude play in employee motivation and performance, and tells you how to make meaningful gratitude and acknowledgment an integral part of your firm. He outlines strategies for a variety of scenarios, from offering regular commendation on normal workdays to recognizing employees when times are tough. His real-life examples of how top employers make workers feel appreciated add depth to his chunky list. getAbstract recommends that managers keep a well-thumbed edition at hand.
