Synopsis
Why is 1001 Ways to Reward Employees , with over 1.4 million copies in print, such an extraordinary bestseller? Because a little over ten years ago Bob Nelson took the seeds of an idea and turned it into something indispensable for business. The idea? That it's not a raise that motivates an employee, and it's not a promotion--what really sparks a person to perform are those intangible, unexpected gestures that signify real appreciation for a job well done. Now, after having worked with thousands of organizations in the years since 1 1001 Ways to Reward . . . was first published, Bob Nelson presents a second edition packed with hundreds of new ideas and examples of how companies are using rewards and recognitions to boost productivity and keep their valued employees happy. Airplane mechanics are rewarded with balloons and pinwheels. Another manager calls his employees' mothers and thanks them for raising such industrious children. There are ideas from the offbeat (The Margarita Award) to the company-wide (a quiet room) to the embarrassingly simple (a hand-written thank you note) to the wacky (the Laugh-a-Day challenge) to the formal (a two-week promotion to special assistant to the president). Each section includes no-cost rewards and low-cost rewards, both public and private, making this new edition an indispensable resource for making the person/achievement/reward equation work., Why is "1001 Ways to Reward Employees," with over 1.4 million copies in print, such an extraordinary bestseller?

Each section includes no-cost rewards and low-cost rewards, both public and private, making this new edition an indispensable resource for making the person/achievement/reward equation work., It's the million-plus-copy bestseller that every manager and employer needs, whether they supervise one employee or one thousand. Because what really motivates people to perform are thoughtful, personal gestures that signify real appreciation--and don't necessarily cost money. A chock-full guide to rewards of every conceivable type for every conceivable situation, 1001 Ways to Reward Employees offers over 1000 innovative ideas beyond the expected raise or promotion. They range from a simple, unexpected "thank you" to Ford Motor Company's use of employees in commercials to programs such as Home Depot's Employee-of-the-Month Award--honorees receive $100 and a merit badge, and get their names engraved on a plaque. In researching the book, author Bob Nelson interviewed supervisors at all types and sizes of businesses in all parts of the country, finding inventive and effective employee rewards in every sector. No matter how many people you manage, you will find lots of ideas that will work for you and your business.

    Hurray! I finally found a Seller who believes in bubblewrap! The book is brand new, as described. It was (are you sitting down?) wrapped in a double layer of bubblewrap, then shipped in a nice, thick, bubble envelope! The book was listed at a very reasonable price, packaged beautifully, and shipped quickly. This was a perfect transaction from an excellent Seller, one I would not hesitate to purchase from again. Thank you very, very, much!

    As described and the flaw listed was not even noticeable in person and the one pictured, which appeared as glue/styrofoam on one small portion of this wooden object was readily fixable. The item is beautiful and nostalgic and fit perfectly in the diorama I created. This seller was also great to deal with and the item was packaged and shipped out very quickly. Highly recommend this seller!
