Non-monetary incentives and recognition programmes are an area of employee motivation that is often overlooked. Yet, as Fisher's book reveals, a strategic focus on non-cash rewards can generate significant return on investment in terms of employee engagement, performance improvement and financial results. In the present economic context, with companies pushing to deliver more for less, it is a particularly pertinent issue. Strategic Reward and Recognition brings together theory and practice to guide HR professionals, consultants and senior leaders in developing the most effective programmes for their organizations. It features examples of good practice from all over the world, from different sectors and from both large and small organizations, providing coverage of digital as well as in-person schemes.

Noting that the use of rewards in the form of stickers, trophies, prizes, points, tokens, and grades is commonplace in elementary education today, this book explores the differences between rewards and recognition and shows how teachers can build student confidence, motivate learning, and develop skills for lifelong learning through recognition. Based on a holistic approach, the book presents: practical ideas for recognition in the elementary classroom and school, through sports and games and at the end of the year; criteria-based assessment ideas; responses to commonly asked questions; and an overview of research findings on the use of rewards. The book is presented in six chapters, each of which outlines practices to move away from, practices to include more of, practical suggestions for recognition practices, and responses to commonly asked questions for the particular area. Chapter 1 differentiates rewards and recognition and outlines the criteria for recognition. Chapter 2 focuses on classroom ideas, while chapter 3 deals with school-wide recognition ideas. Chapter 4 addresses sports and games ideas. Chapter 5 presents recognition practices for the end of the school year. Chapter 6 makes suggestions for student assessment. The appropriate age range for each recognition idea is included. Blackline masters for materials are appended. (Contains 52 references.) (KB)

In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a near bankrupt division of International Harvester. Today it's one of the most successful and competitive companies in the United States, with a share price 3000 times what it was thirty years ago. This miracle turnaround is all down to one man, Jack Stack, and his revolutionary system of Open-Book Management, in which every employee understands the company's key figures, can act on them and has a real stake in the business. In Stack's own words: 'When employees think, act and feel like owners ... everybody wins.'As a management strategy, 'the great game of business' is so simple and effective that it's been taken up by companies from Intel to Harley Davidson.
