Supervisor’s Tool Kit Findings and Recommendations • Steps to Implement an R&R Program • Clearly define what you want reinforced • Determine eligibility • Know what rewards interest the group • Write simple, easy rules • Plan for change • Ensure people understand the program • Keep it “top of mind” • Keep promises • Celebrate and enjoy the results
Supervisor’s Tool Kit Findings and Recommendations • Remember the easier recognition • Thank you • Note/letter of appreciation • Public appreciation at staff meeting • Acknowledgement in newsletter • Nominate for a PSU, F&B, or OPP reward
What next? • Do we think that the reward & recognition opportunities are sufficient? • How do we encourage more participation in the existing programs? • If we want to revamp existing program, how do we go about it?
