Recognition programs may use financial rewards or non-financial rewards.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT First question to ask- what would I want
to accomplish by using incentives or rewards?
Second question - how will I know whether the incentive or reward I did what I wanted it to do?
![Page 7: How to recognize and reward people](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/577cc4f31a28aba7119ada87/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT Performance improvement - following a
systematic process to identify and use appropriate incentives to get the results you want.
Without systematic process, one could potentially reward people who does not contribute to the success.

COMMON MISSTEPS1. They fail to point out the importance of the work to be done.2. They discount the significance of a personal thank you,
general courtesies, and politeness.3. They are unclear on their purpose—whether they want to
encourage specific behaviors or reward results.4. They fail to link the reward or recognition to performance.5. They do not reward people fairly or equitably.6. They think treating everyone the same is best.7. They think treating everyone differently is best.8. They reward meaningless results.

LEADING AND LAGGING INDICATORS(LEADING)
The presence of some activities and behaviours improves the odds that the organization will be successful.
Examples: following up with customers in a timely fashion or complying with safety procedures
![Page 10: How to recognize and reward people](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/577cc4f31a28aba7119ada87/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LEADING AND LAGGING INDICATORS(LAGGING)
Accomplishments are “lagging” indicators, because they are the results that occurred after people engaged in specific activities and behaviours
Examples: amount of product sold compared to quota or customer satisfaction rating received compared to what was expected
![Page 11: How to recognize and reward people](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/577cc4f31a28aba7119ada87/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
LEADING INDICATORS Results happen when managers,
supervisors, and workers engage in specific behaviors and activities.
Incentive plans can be designed to encourage the behaviors and activities that are linked to results..

LEADING INDICATORSSupervisory Behaviors -leading indicators of good employee relations and performance such as:• Setting clear expectations• Giving regular and frequent feedback• Regularly displaying common courtesies• Saying thank you• Being fair when giving people attention or help• Explaining the organization’s vision and his or her vision for the work unit• Showing respect• Taking an interest in people’s careers

SUBORDINATE BEHAVIORS Activities and behaviors that are leading indicators of
subordinates’ accomplishments depend on their jobs. Examples: 1. Sales – not promising beyond the capabilities of
products or services, prepared for client meetings2. Customer Service – asking permission before
putting a customer on hold3. Technicians - arriving early, complete work in one
visit

LAGGING INDICATORS accomplishments or the results that
occur at a specific point in time, the end of a project, or after an implementation.
include things like bonuses, merit increases, and promotions.
![Page 15: How to recognize and reward people](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/577cc4f31a28aba7119ada87/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LAGGING INDICATORS EXAMPLESSAFETY - the incentive might encourage people to hide accidents. The second problem is that it encourages co-workers to exert pressure to hide injuries.SALES - company bonuses were solely based on total sales volume, not margin.Margin - difference between net sales and the cost of the merchandise

RECOGNIZING THE UNSEEN AND THE UNCLEAN
people who work behind the scenes and do work that is overlooked and under-appreciated(housekeeping, maintenance, etc.)
they also experience emotional burnout and their efforts should be acknowledged
![Page 17: How to recognize and reward people](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/577cc4f31a28aba7119ada87/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PEER RECOGNITION Recognizing the work done by your fellow co-
workers, customers or team mates.
Examples: “I’m too clever for my job” award is given by co-
workers when they see a colleague do something very clever
companies allowing peers to nominate co-workers for awards when they see someone receive outstanding comments from customers.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND REWARD PEOPLE
Compensation - Incentive used to pay people fairly.
Meaningful Work - most powerful incentive to perform is the work itself especially if people believe what they do is important.

ALIGNING INCENTIVES It is important to identify the right combination
of results and the contributing behaviors. Alignment happens when the incentive plan
gets people to behave in ways that lead to desired results.
Safety incentives only work when: Clear expectations about all the factors that
contribute to performance Good documentation

SUMMARY People who are passionate and have
good relations with each other can beat a lousy system.
Look beyond the organization for rewards; come up with some yourself. Start by letting people know how important their work is and how others rely on them.
