With 1001 Ways to Reward Employees, Bob Nelson created a management revolution, with the knowledge that truly what motivates employees is not a promotion or a raise, but those intangible, unexpected gestures that signify real appreciation for a job well done. 1501 Ways to Reward Employees opens with an all-new exploration of trends affecting managers in the second decade of the 21st century, focusing on five key trends affecting today's workforce:
#1: Attracting/Retaining Skilled Talent: The Growing Worker Shortage
#2: How the Millennials Are Changing the Rules at Work
#3: The Rise of the Contingent Worker (Freelancers, Consultants, Contractors)
#4: The Evolving Role of Virtual Employees
#5: Motivating and Rewarding a Globally Diverse Workforce
1501 Ways also combines the best of the first two editions, with hundreds of new examples of how companies are using rewards and recognitions to boost productivity and keep employees happy. They range from the offbeat (a siren to let workers know when goals are met) to the simple (a thank you and handshake) to the whimsical (recognising birthdays and anniversaries by placing Styrofoam cakes above cubicles) to the formal (stock options).
