Welcome!

Thank you for attending!

Rewards and recognition done right increase motivation and performance. Unfortunately, they can accidentally do the reverse. Learn the science behind motivating rewards, and how to build a strategy that recognizes people for what matters. 

In this session, you will learn: 

• The surprising science of when rewards motivate people, and when they don't 
• How rewards and recognition on a low budget can be the most impactful 
• How to help your C-suite drive recognition as part of their day-to-day work, rather than "extra" tasks 
• How rewards and recognition will change as problem solving and skill-building become more important
• How to translate the science into an actionable strategy
   

In a brand new study from Lighthouse Research & Advisory, workers said they were twice as likely to stay with their employer if they had opportunities for recognition and appreciation of their work. 

Employee recognition isn't a new practice, but achieving optimal results requires strategy and intention. In this session, author and researcher Ben Eubanks will share new insights from a study of more than 1,000 global workers, highlighting key aspects of what it takes to break through the noise and create a workplace that people don't want to leave. In addition, a case study of one organization that uses creative recognition to drive engagement and performance will be shared with key, practical takeaways. 

In this session, you will learn:

• How to connect employee performance with recognition and culture
• The frequency that workers say is "just right" when it comes to feedback 
• The better alternative to the "feedback sandwich" that drives worker performance and engagement
   

This middle ground in organizations is made up of individuals and groups that are not only more open to change and evolution but crave it.  Yet, people in the middle are often left out, unappreciated and under communicated with. As such, the leaders’ attention is rarely captured by this agile audience—after all, they are quiet, willing, dutiful, and consistently the steady force doing necessary work. The real solution to most organizational problems lies in the middle and how they perceive they belong and discovering they ways to invite them inside to be part of the solution. 

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Nurture culture committed to 100% of the truth, 100% of the time.
• Eliminate conflict and engage in effective challenges in a way that brings connection and increased creativity.
• Identify and address the power structures that empower the extremes and shrink the middle’s effectiveness.
• Listen without labels to access greater diversity of thought and action. 
   

Despite the common myth that our salary and wealth should predict our happiness, research finds that it is the quality of our relationships in life and work that predicts happiness.  Meaning isn’t handed to us by our workplaces; it’s something we discover in learning how we work together. In this session, you will learn how we have been traditionally conditioned to approach feeling rewarded at work and how we can boost our work satisfaction by looking at a new holistic view of recognition.

In this session, you will learn:

• Why traditional benchmarks for success are outdated in our current world of work
• The research and data behind discovering the most important elements of happiness 
• How to shift your mindset into placing more value on relationships and shift your success metric to this new type of reward evaluation
   

In the quest for long-term employee retention, one factor stands out above all: culture. This invisible force shapes how employees think, feel, and interact. In this transformative session, we explore the critical role of culture in fostering a work environment that attracts top talent and keeps them engaged and committed. We delve into the intricacies of building a retention-driven culture, from leadership alignment and values integration to fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. Moreover, we introduce a powerful tool to amplify the impact of culture: Grategies, a unique blend of gratitude and strategic practices. By incorporating Grategies into your organization, you unlock the potential to cultivate an environment where appreciation and recognition are woven into the fabric of daily operations. You’ll discover how a Grategy can enhance employee satisfaction, boost morale, and strengthen retention rates.
