Employee Recognition and Praise.
Does it improve performance and productivity?
Does it keep them motivated and loyal?
Motivating Factors in the Workplace (part 2 of 3)
Recognition & Praise - Where to Start?

So based on last month's article, is it fair to say that money, over and above wages, is not a main motivating factor, but full appreciation of work done is? This is recognition: the number one factor in maintaining a motivated staff.

Dear Mr. Urichuck, I began noticing your work since the beginning of your Positive Business Minute radio segments on News Radio 93.8 (Singapore). The things you said hit me like a rock! Then I found out about your book launch appearance at the NAC. I attended it and I found your segment the best of all. Listening to your talk was not enough so I bought your book "Up Your Bottom Line", and a copy of your CD. I listened to it so much that I could split the topics discussed on the CD into tracks and seconds. Hearing your voice triggers off my mental anchors, which I have established during your NAC talk. I was so pumped up then, I really cannot forget that feeling. Oh yeah, your son was pretty good too, speaking in front of thousands of strangers. This e-mail is just my way of saying "thank you" and letting you know how much your book and CD changed my way of thinking and life too. In the past, I had very low self-esteem because I was a salesman, to survive I need to cheat, lie and swindle. After listening to your CD, I became proud to be a salesman, and loving every minute of it!
