Nearly 78 percent of employees surveyed said they believe recognition by their manager for good work is extremely important. The same survey showed that non-monetary recognition –just a pat on the back or public recognition before their peers – was more important than financial reward.
But not all managers believe that positive reinforcement through non-monetary recognition is important to success. Many managers believe punishing bad behavior is more motivating than recognizing good behavior. What do your managers believe?
With the Organization Recognition Assessment for Managers 5-Pack, created by renowned employee motivation coach and author Dr. Bob Nelson, you can learn what your managers’ beliefs are about employee recognition.
Have your managers complete the short 54-item inventory and help them understand why they do or do not use employee recognition as a motivating tool when managing their employees. Use their score to determine where each manager ranks compared to the norm. Figure each manager’s potential strengths and weaknesses in providing employee recognition using the Recognition Star.
Armed with this information, you can help your managers change their negative beliefs and strengthen their positive beliefs. Follow the real-world application steps to uncover hidden beliefs, understand where they come from and how to change them for the better.
With the ORAM’s step-by-step process, you can apply what you learn to your entire organization and create an environment where correct belief drives action and action results in motivated employees.
