As we enter a new year, your organization may also be implementing a new recognition strategy. We all know what it takes to make a recognition program successful - employee participation.

Here, we offer his blog "How To Get Employees to Use Your Recognition Programs."

Do you know what sets exceptional leaders apart from their peers? We know there are certain characteristics that all leaders share, but there is one trait that makes a leader go from good to great. Back in August of this year, Roy Saunderson, Chief Learning Officer at our sister company, Rideau, shared his thoughts on what makes a leader great, and how to develop this skill, in his blog "Great Leaders Are Great at Recognizing People."

Janice makes a good salary at her job and she routinely delivers excellent work that improves her company’s bottom line. But recently she’s been feeling underappreciated. Her results are often attributed to her managers and her superiors rarely pay attention to her achievements. It’s frustrating.

One week to go for the official “unofficial” Employee Appreciation Day holiday  - in case this is news to you its March 1^st!

At Engage2Excel we know really terrific people are hard to find, that’s why we believe in the power of delivering appreciation and recognition moments to employees all year long…but we admit we get a little giddy for fun days like this throughout the year to show employees how much you value them.
