Energized Disengagement – The New Trend

Posted on: February 9, 2012 Posted by: Paul Hebert In Category: Employee | General Business | General Motivation | Influence | Loyalty Tags:Employee engagement, Employee Relations, Employment, Human resources, Leadership, Motivation, Performance management

I’m going to tell you the one thing no incentive company will tell you. Don’t run that recognition and reward program to fix your employee engagement problems. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Run a Program Save The World Here’s the problem. Most of the time the people tasked with driving [...]

Why Do Pilots Use Simulators? Consequence Free Mistakes

Posted on: February 8, 2012 Posted by: Paul Hebert In Category: Change | Employee | General Business Tags:Customer service, Employment, Engagement, learning, Ohio State University, Simulation, training

Simulators save lives and money. That’s why. Simulating problems and situations before you have to deal with them in real life allows you to learn something in a risk-free environment – risk-free to you personally and to those that may need to rely on your judgment and abilities. You might think that since you’re [...]

Employee Radar – Repost

Posted on: February 7, 2012 Posted by: Paul Hebert In Category: Employee | General Business | Measurement | Recognition Tags:Employee engagement, Employee Relations, Employment, Human resources, Motivation

This was originally posted in September of 2007 but it seems to me to be as applicable today as it was 4 years ago. At that time this site didn’t have as many subscribers or followers so I’m reposting hoping to get some more conversation started around this idea. We don’t understand our employees as [...]

Employee Motivation Is About People Connections. Who Knew?

We can spend all day talking about the right award, the right system, the right communication package that will motivate employees at your company. But at the end of the day, if you want to motivate your people you need to get outside your company and outside your reward program. You need to get [...]

Incentive & Reward Programs Need More UGC

UGC? What is UGC? User. Generated. Content. Old School – New School In the days of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble incentive programs to drive more rock breaking at the quarry came with elaborate communication plans. Big budget program announcements (if you were doing a group travel program the budgets were almost obscene), monthly [...]

Advice Worth Taking – 8 Non-Reward Things That Are Reward Things

Posted on: February 2, 2012 Posted by: Paul Hebert In Category: General Motivation | Incentive 101 | Program Design Tags:Business, Incentive program, Reward Strategy, Reward system

Ran across Barry Ritholtz’s post “2011 Investment Mea Culpas” the other day (if you don’t read his blog, you should, go subscribe.) He deals with investment advice and each year he takes a look back and highlights what he did right and what he’s going to change in the future. His post has nothing to [...]

Why Do We Love to Work at Companies Where We Don’t Have to Work?

Posted on: February 1, 2012 Posted by: Paul Hebert In Category: Change | Employee | Just Fun Tags:Business, Employee engagement, Employment, Human resources, Motivation, Stephen Colbert, Work

Employee engagement on the web and in business articles has almost reached parody status. I’m waiting for a Stephen Colbert character to emerge as the voice of engagement. (Folks planning next season’s shows – I get some of the credit if you do this!) Don’t get me wrong – I’m all for employee engagement. I [...]

Incentives May Not Trump Culture

Why did your incentive program fail? Maybe because you focused the program on “sacred values.” Company/corporate culture is a hot discussion these days. From @zappos (everyone take a drink) and Netflix – every company wants to be the “it” girl of corporate culture. Culture drives engagement they say. Much corporate treasure is spent to reward [...]
