Are You Getting The Results You Expect?

Rewards and Recognition programs are key to building employee engagement, which leads to increased revenue, higher customer satisfaction and better productivity.

But how can you make sure that your rewards and recognition programs create the results you want?

There are varied types of incentive programs but each must contain specific elements in order to achieve optimum proficiency.

David will discuss the simple steps that you must take to make your incentives program a rewarding experience for both the employee and the organization.

Learn how:

  • How your culture can kill your rewards and recognition strategy and how to change your values so that they support your program.
  • What other things you need to be doing to support your rewards and recognition and make it a comprehensive approach that values your people.
  • To communicate about your rewards and recognition programs and why transparency and authenticity are vital.
  • Apply best and new practices for rewards and recognition from leading global companies.

Scope creep is one of the major contributors to project failure.

The problem is that too often management sees the responsibility for scope management to be the sole responsibility of the project manager.

In reality, managing scope is the responsibility of everyone on the project team, including the customer.

Inadvertent scope increases can easily occur – team members don’t truly understand the deliverables, requirements aren’t clearly spelled out, team members subjectively add features that weren’t asked for, or someone is just doing a favor for someone.

Scope creep doesn’t happen because someone purposefully wanted to add scope to the project.

So how do we give project team members the necessary tools to effectively combat the urges to inadvertently increase scope?

We need a mindset of process improvement throughout the organization and discipline to manage them across all stakeholders.

This month PROJECTinsight is going to discuss a simple and effective way to discuss the impacts of scope creep to your stakeholders and provide simple tools to get every project team member in tune with the costs of their actions.
