More Than Gold Stars: Strategies for Effectively Rewarding and Recognizing Your Care Team
Among the most engaged people in the workforce are those who feel appreciated and recognized for their work. However, if rewarding employees becomes the norm, it begins to resemble an expectation instead of a symbol of recognition. Similarly, the most meaningful motivation doesn’t come from basic “tit for tat” responses to performance. Rather, employers should strive to develop the intrinsic, non-contingent rewards that arise organically and in real time, which reach beyond expectations and create authentic appreciation that sustains positive work ethic.
This interactive webinar is designed to help health care leaders find new strategies for recognizing their care team for heightened appreciation and engagement. Speakers Cynthia King, Ph.D., and Kathy Boswell will introduce the REWARDS model of implementable recognition practices, such as rounding to actively notice opportunities for recognition and reflection exercises to strengthen recognition initiatives.
Objectives
- Identify intrinsic needs for engagement.
- Shift the perception of rewards and recognition.
- Develop simple tools for rewards/recognition and building personal connections with employees.
