Energized Disengagement ? The New Trend
2012-02-09 15:38:00 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 ...
Employee Radar ? Repost
2012-02-07 14:30:00 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?
2012-02-06 13:25:00 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 ...
Why Do We Love to Work at Companies Where We Don?t Have to Work?
2012-02-01 14:12:00 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
2012-01-25 13:41:00 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 ...
When ?Mobile? Recognition Makes Sense
2012-01-23 14:27:00 Last week I posted that ?mobilizing? employee reward and recognition programs was a red herring. My thought process was that recognizing employees isn?t a function of ?location? but a function of effort on the part of managers. Many in the incentive industry are launching ?mobile? apps for their incentive and reward platforms selling it from ...

I Like You ? Here?s Some Money
2012-01-16 14:50:00 Peer to Peer programs (P2P) are pretty much a standard offering in employee reward and recognition programs today. If you?re not looking at P2P as a feature in your program ? got back and start over. P2P is a common and well-liked option within a company?s recognition strategy. For those under a rock ? P2P ...

On Selected Mondays on a WebCam Near You
2011-12-09 12:45:00 Except when it is announced a few days ahead of time. A few weeks ago I asked the group when would be the best time for a G+ hangout on incentives, rewards, influence, etc. The answer ? Mondays at 4:00 pm EST. So? Monday December 12th at 4:00 pm EST I will flip the switch ...
When Was The Last Time You Recognized the CEO?
2011-12-05 13:12:00 We continue to do what we?re rewarded and recognized for doing. That is a pretty standard motivation/incentive axiom. It?s true for dogs, monkeys and employees. (Don?t jump up and down ? I?m not drawing any connection between the three ? they were just the first three things that came to mind ? of course there ...
Fistful of Talent Podcast ? Just a Bit Better Sounding Than A Modem Connect
2011-12-01 21:22:00 FYI… For you Millenials ? computers used to use a modem and the phone lines to connect to the internet and they made a horrible noise when they converted all the analog info into bits and bytes ? Long-time readers will know I?ve been a member of the Fistful Of Talent team since its inception ...
Solve Human Problems With Human Solutions
2011-11-29 15:09:00 The problem with most incentive and reward programs today is that they attempt to solve a human problem though enabling technology. That?s just wrong-headed. Engagement and motivation are human problems. No technology in the world will solve them. Only human intervention will. Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the ...
Another Post About Employee Disengagement
2011-11-28 14:11:00 Yep. Or should I say yuuup? like Dave Hester on Storage Wars?

You will lose thousands upon thousands of employees to disengagement over the next 10, 12, 18 ...
Rewarding White Space Activities

HTML emails are designed and each. individual. word. is parsed and debated as ...
Annual Incentive Programs Are Bad
2011-11-03 13:18:00 I was reminded by a post from Dr. Bret Simmons the other day that seeing meaningful progress is one of the most important things for maintaining engagement with employees. That made me thing of the ?typical? sales incentive program. The Dilbert Program Many incentive programs, especially for sales organizations, are designed to reward performance at ...
YOU Are the Reason Your Recognition Program Failed
2011-10-28 13:29:00 On the internet no one knows you?re a dog. That now famous caption to a cartoon by Peter Steiner ran in the July issue of the New Yorker in 1993. Not much has changed in almost 20 years. You still need to know what you?re dealing with on the internet. The internet can be a ...
When Recognition Goes Bad
2011-10-25 13:32:00 Highlighting top performers is great. We all love getting the notoriety and the praise. It?s a great way for companies to reinforce their message, their mission, and their values. But, like anything else ? it?s a double-edged sword. But you don?t need to tell that to the folks in La Palma California. I?m sure, like ...

In fact, the reason we started I2I was to find a new way to make money by providing what our clients really, really want. Behavior change. The industry has been selling ?points? for years and they have become very adept at it. ...
Incentive Programs Are Your Worst First Option
2011-10-17 14:11:00 You?d think the title of this post would be the last thing you?re read on a site that focuses on how to design incentives correctly. You?d think I?d spend my time telling you about how incentives are great, how they can cure poverty and how they are better than the iPhone 4S. But I can?t. ...
My Warning About New Incentive Research Foundation Study
2011-10-10 12:49:00 The Incentive Research Foundation released a new survey/study about the use of incentives. Most of the data is pretty self explanatory.

How to Steal Cookies from a 13-Year-Old
2009-10-21 19:17:00 Pangbourn drugged and then had sex with his assistant's 13-year-old sister when she tried to sell him Girl Scout cookies. Since Pangbourn has contributed so much to this company, including the Bomb Threat Checklist, Human Resources has decided that this means he has done nothing wrong. Also, given the incident happened over a week ago, HR says enough time has passed that we should all just move on. HR issued this statement: Whatever you think about this so-called "horrific, indisputably grotesque crime," it would be irresponsible of this organization to ignore the monumental contributions Pangbourn has made that have directly impacted this company's bottom line. Debra, his assistant, has forgiven Pangbourn, since her 13-year-old sister is too young to really understand the concept. We do, however, anticipate that when she's reached the age of 45, she will long since gotten over it and ultimately forgive him completely. Regardless, the Girl Scouts of Am...

The Energy Project
2009-08-13 20:46:00 The Energy Project is being implemented across my company. The program is designed to renew and energize your body, emotions, mind, and spirit in order to maximize performance at work. The two day session with Human Resources sucked the life out of me. First off, I had to answer True or F-alse to these questions to determine if "I'm headed for an energy crisis." Body I don’t regularly get at least seven to eight hours of sleep, and I often wake up feeling tired. True. But I make up for it the next day with an overload of caffeine and energy drinks. I frequently skip breakfast, or I settle for something that isn’t nutritious. True. But sometimes the only time married women can hook up is right after their husbands leave for work in the morning. Married women are not nutritious, but they sure do taste good. I don’t work out enough (meaning cardiovascular training at least three times a week and strength training at least once a week). Fa...

Kelsey
2009-07-23 00:01:00 HR called me in for questioning today regarding the missing toilet paper in the men's bathroom on the executive floor on 34. And while I promised I had nothing to do with it, the fact of the matter is, I had everything to do with it. I don't have anything against the executives on the 34th floor. This was simply a task that Gladstone had to complete today. This was strictly business. It was also Kessler's idea, so while technically I had everything to do with it, conceptually, I had very little to do with it. Triplet the VP of HR let me leave after 15 minutes of interrogation once she thought she had uncovered a new, promising lead. I told her that I caught sight of Fernandez walking down the hallway carrying a plastic bag filled with something fluffy. Gladstone was told to stash the toilet paper in Fernandez' office, behind the couch. When I left Triplet's office, I saw a cute, young blond girl leaving Maxine the Recruiter's office. The girl was w...
