Recognition and rewards can drive performance increases of 20% or more by leveraging the power of motivation psychology, social dynamics and workers’ desire for aspirational awards within a positive culture that encourages the collaboration and success of all individuals and teams.

This seems like common sense, but it is not easy to implement in the workplace unless you create programs that are designed with recognition and reward best practices.

There is an art and a science element to effective recognition. This includes smart program structure, rules, training, recognition tactics, reward choices, actionable analytics and more.

Join recognition experts Ira Ozer (LinkedIn profile) and Jeffrey Brenner (LinkedIn profile), who will explore these aspects of effective incentive use while sharing proven programs that have won industry awards:

• Best practices to create effective programs from the Recognition Professionals International (RPI), Incentive Marketing Association (IMA) and the Incentive Research Foundation (IRF)
• How recognition programs can improve sales performance, company culture and create lasting change, while delivering a return on investment (ROI)
• Motivation psychology of recognition and rewards
• The power of tangible non-monetary rewards to improve performance

Have you heard these complaints from designers and trainers?

• “We want to change our training, but our boss insists on his command and control style.”
• “My SMEs (Subject Matter Experts)  demand that all content must be lectured. So we overload learners.”
• “Our employees complain a lot since we keep training them on the same topic, same subject, over and over again, every year for compliance, but  they are so boring.”
• “Our learners don’t spend time on training and learning, because they are too long.”
• “Our learners find the topics irrelevant.”

The above are just examples of the moaning and complaining of workers, learners, L&D specialists, and leaders. Their “Training Is Broken”. How then, can they fix them?

Ray will discuss the following:

• What are the roots of “evil” in failed or broken training programs?
• How do you classify which one is deeply rooted or is just a lack of knowledge and skills or resources?
• What are superficial fixes and “band-aids” that won’t last?
• How do you fix or improve the problems in the following:?
• Meaningless content
• Long content
• Disinterested learners
• Spoon feeding learning
• Lack of application training
• Boring training

What should successful L&D specialists do? Where is focus fixed in design, authoring, multimedia, platform, and delivery?

When you register you may be able to submit advanced questions on “Broken Training” and receive a response from Ray.
