Reinforce Behavior With Employee Recognition

Use this manager training deck to train managers to recognize employees.

  • Recognition often falls to the wayside because managers have so many responsibilities on their to-do lists.
  • The impact of employee recognition is not often recognized – it's perceived as just a feel-good exercise.
  • When managers do recognize their team, the recognition is generic and does not have the impact it could.
