Program Overview
It's no secret. Employees who feel they are valued and recognized for the work they do are more motivated, responsible, and productive than those who don't. This program will help supervisors and managers create a more dynamic and energized workplace. It is designed specifically to help busy managers and supervisors understand what employees want and to create a starting point for nurturing champions.
