RECOGNITION AND REWARDS




Management has the responsibility to provide an environment for the work force that is safe and environmentally clean. This environment should also lay the foundation for supporting the employees' quality of work life. Once this foundation has been established, management must develop a recognition and rewards program designed to improve and maintain employee job satisfaction.

A three-tiered system should be developed that includes:

(1) day-to-day recognition,
 (2) informal recognition, and 
(3) formal recognition programs. 

The best way to get started is to create a steering committee made up of staff management.

This committee can define the scope of the program and establish guidelines to be followed by employee teams established to implement the program. Employee teams should include participants from all levels of the organization.

The steering committee can set the scope of the program to include as many systems as they feel the company can support and effectively manage, but some systems should always be included because of their proven effectiveness.
