Rewarding and Recognizing Employees: Ideas for Individuals, Teams, and Managers (Briefcase Books Series)
by Joan P. Klubnik
Management literature consistently emphasizes the need to recognize and reward
employees, but usually falls short when it comes to suggesting specific,
concrete ways to do so. Furthermore, many managers and supervisors are not
able to alter easily or readily establish benefit and reward mechanisms.
Klubnik, a partner in a training and consulting firm and author of Team-Based
Problem Solver (1994), lists well over 100 creative, easy-to-implement
suggestions for recognizing employees. She also admonishes against using
these ideas without first analyzing current staff attitudes, already
established recognition activities, and the organizational culture to
avoid what might come across as empty gestures. Klubnik goes on to detail
how to establish an organization-wide recognition program. This unique
book belongs in most management collections. - David Rouse
