I have been asked develop a short (2 hour) program on how managers can recognize employees. Say Thank You, etc. Does anyone have a content outline that they might share for me to look at? I have ton's of information, but it right now, I am overwhelmed and it doesn't seem to fit any particular sequence.
I would start by asking them how they like to be recognized for their accomplishments. That would hopefully draw out a lot of great ideas for what they could be doing for their employees. It should also demonstrate how rewards and recognition are often unique to the individual.
I've already done the asking. Got lots of great ideas. My problem now, is putting it all together so that it makes sense and so that I can present it to the managers and supervisors. For some reason, this one just doesn't go together for me. As I said, I have lots of data, just looking for ideas on how to put it all together.
I'm sorry - I should have clarified. I didn't mean ask them before-hand. I mean that you should ask them to answer that question as part of the 2 hours you have. The two hours you have should not involve presenting something to them. Rather, you should have THEM use their brains to create the what/how/why of recognizing their employees. You facilitate the discussion/learning opportunity. Let THEM bring their experiences to the table. Why present them with information when it's already in their heads? - it just needs to be brought out in a way that hits home. They're adults - they know why recognition is important...some of them just forget once in a while that they should be doing it for others.
I already have that in as part of the discussion. As well as reasons why people don't recognize, kinds of rewards and recognition, formal and informal, intrinsic and extrinsic. Also that rewards should be timely, specific, sincere, individual, personal and porportional. And a bunch of other stuff.
Again, it is how best to organize it all so it all makes sense.
