The Importance of Employee Recognition

Employee motivation and recognition is an often tricky topic with many misconceptions. For example, there is a widely-held misbelief that offering more money is likely to lead to greater motivation.

So, there you have it. Go forth and recognize your employees. Also, given that July is National Ice Cream Month within the US, you may have yet another reason to recognize and celebrate your team’s accomplishments.
