Next to excellence is the appreciation of it…
-Henry David Thoreau

What do American employees and Henry David Thoreau have in common? They both agree that full appreciation of excellence is important. In fact, in surveys taken over the past 50 years, employees continuously acknowledge that being recognized is one of the top factors in job satisfaction. In recent studies the Forum on People and Performance found that there is a direct link between employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction, and between customer satisfaction and improved financial performance.

What do successful organizations, the NEAT STUFF people, and, most likely, you have in common? We all agree that effective Recognition is important. And, we all agree that the more we “CARE,” (Communicate and Recognize Excellence) the more successful we can be.

There are literally thousands of ways to “CARE.” We have learned through our years of experience that the same type of recognition doesn’t work for everyone. We have also learned that successful recognition needs several dimensions: day to day, face to face, informal, formal and most importantly, it must be authentic.

NEAT STUFF is Made to Make a Difference for formal or informal recognition, for individual or team achievements, for new product or program introductions, for safety campaigns, sales and distributor incentives, total quality campaigns, and those moments and accomplishments that must be remembered.

The “Metamorphosis” Mug has made a difference for thousands of people worldwide. Companies such as Owens Corning, New England Financial, and Imagine Chicago have benefited from this unique symbol of excellence to honor their people and challenge them to INvision the possibilities. We’ve been told that it has made its way to India, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Just seeing it and hearing the story behind the MAGIC encourages everyone to choose to be the best they can be.

The Common Swift…Ever in Flight Award honors the inherent “genius in the common man.” The newest REINFORCER rewards and awards (Anthropomaximologist) have taken individuals and organizations to new levels of performance and leadership. The Anthropomaximologist™ collection, along with the “Way To Go!” workshop to maximize performance, will reinforce, rejuvenate, regenerate, renew and reevaluate our companies and the processes we adopt to keep us from perishing from apathy and reactive thinking.

There are thousands of ways to CARE - from the sturdy little YAM who reminds us to celebrate I Yam What I Think I Yam to the visionary Saker Falcon who sees before its time what is possible. We consider it an honor to help you celebrate special moments in time with your greatest assets…your people. Invite us to help you create more ways to CARE!

People make commitments long before they are acknowledged for their contributions. How they are acknowledged today makes a big difference in how they will perform tomorrow.
