Of employees studied, 25% say they are fully
engaged at work and 19% say they are actively disengaged.
Stimulate your
employees to be more engaged using positive reinforcement. Start by
understanding that everyone enjoys being recognized when they do good work.
Then begin to modify the management approach to employee recognition.
See articles below for steps to make this work.
When this begins
to work well, reinforce it even more with appropriate reward systems.
See these articles for suggestions on how to create a good reward system.
Positive
reinforcement could be the key to better results in human resource
management, which should lead to better business results as well.
If positive
reinforcement is a new concept in an organization, try a group discussion
activity to get people thinking about how this might help improve
performance. Find examples and a positive reinforcement exercise
on-line at
http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/positive.html
Another idea
is to have everyone in a group read the same book on positive reinforcement
and then get together to discuss what they learned from the book, ideas they
have tired and what worked best. A short business book on this topic
is Whale Done! The Power of Positive Relationships by Ken
Blanchard.

A Way To Save Training $$$

Is
your company looking for ways to reduce training costs? A couple of
simple ideas include offering short knowledge sessions in a specialized

book reviews during the lunch hour. These
sessions can be lead by experienced employees or may feature outside guests
speaking on business topics and answering questions that are relevant to
your industry. If you are interested in having the Meeting Wizard
