Must have book if you manage people., Jan 10 2010
I manage a mid-size call center (80 - 85 agents). Keeping my managers and agents motivated is a large part of my job. 1001 Ways to Reward Employees is always on my desk and I refer to it often. If you manage people then you need to get a copy of this book.

Useful guide for rewards of every type, Jan 5 2004
This review is from: 1,001 Ways to Reward Employees (Paperback)
Heard the taped version of 1001 WAYS TO REWARD EMPLOYEES,
written and read by Bob Nelson . . . the author says that what most
motivates people who work is recognition--and not just money! . . . he
then presents a most useful guide to rewards of every conceivable type
for virtually any situation . . . the ideas include the spontaneous gesture
of praise to formal company-wide programs and just about everything
in-between.
These ideas, in particular, made a great deal of sense to me:
Works who must stay late at TIME INC. get cab fare home.
Marion Laboratories annually takes all employees and guests to see
a Kansas City Royals game.
Chevron keeps a Treasure Chest brimming with gifts so supervisors
can reward employees on the spot.
Every Christmas, the Walt Disney Company opens Disneyland for
employees and families only--with executives running the park.
My only disappointment in the book was in the author's narration . . . he
lacked any real enthusiasm for the task, and this is one time that it
would have been much better had anybody else been the reader.

Best of the bunch -- easy to read, a must-have, Nov 4 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: 1,001 Ways to Reward Employees (Paperback)
I've had this book for almost 10 years, and as an HR professional, it's a requirement in my library. I also have 1001 Ways to Energize... Must-haves. They both get borrowed frequently so I have to really wallpaper my name all over the books in order to get them back. Which sometimes I don't but they are cheap enough to buy again. So easy to read, they help get the creative juices flowing... for all HR consultants and itnernal advisors as well as managers!
