THE THANKTANK WORKSHOP™

EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION TRAINING FOR SUPERVISORS, MANAGERS & TEAMS

THE THANKTANK WORKSHOP™ motivates, educates and inspires supervisors, managers and/or teams to utilize employee recognition in a whole new way.

In our time together we will identify what is important to you, your people and your business, explore various recognition options, and equip you with practical and comfortable tools and techniques that reflect your personal management/work style.

The time commitment is approximately 90 minutes to two and a half hours. Enough time to focus on current challenges, get a solid understanding of proven recognition processes and business strategies and leave with an individual action plan.
