Great Morale Series: The Recognition Habit
Course Summary
Welcome to another module in our Great Morale Series. Our focus this time is how to make recognition so obvious, attractive, easy and satisfying that you can't help yourself! And the reward? More engaged staff. Better retention. More continuous improvement. Greater trust in you and the organization. And, you'll be more satisfied too!
Course Curriculum
Sarah McVanel
True acceptance is believing people are worthy before they’ve earned it. Imagine a workplace that extends acknowledgement and appreciation to its employees before they even start.
I’m a recognition expert, professional speaker, coach, author, recovering perfectionist, and movement maker, specifically F.R.O.G. Forever Recognize Others’ GreatnessTM. With 25+ of experience, I invigorate companies to see their people as exceptional so that, together, they can create a scrumptious, thriving culture where everyone belongs.
Here’s the fact: recognition is the single, most effective, and cost-efficient way that organizations can decrease burnout, sick time, change fatigue, and hiring costs. Their reward? Increased employee retention, safety, innovation, and customer satisfaction… as a starting point. What organization doesn’t need this in this competitive market with a talent shortage?
And it gets better. When you practice this in all areas of life, especially at home, it turns even the most difficult challenges and greatest tensions into opportunities to connect, commit, heal, and belong.
