Contribution to success:
1. Recognition of employees' individual
differences, and clear identification of
behaviour deemed worthy of recognition
2. Allowing employees to participate
3. Linking rewards to performance
4. Rewarding of nominators
5. Visibility of the recognition process

Interactive session
• Statement 1
Take another job more often.
An effective way to develop talent, and
get motivated, is a demanding job.
Employers should actively encourage this,
because stagnation means decline.
Interactive session
• Statement 2
Seniors are better for business.
Organizations can use older workers more
effectively.
There is no reason
to spare them.
Interactive session
• Statement 3
Unbound talent.
Good employees quit their jobs faster and
faster, but that should be no reason not to
cherish them. So keep investing in
training and development.
