This is the type of recognition QUICK reference guide every manager should have on his/her desk. This book seems to hit on almost every occasion where recognition could be a form of reward. The book is small, easy to ready, down-home and applies to all employees, from executives to blue collar. In addition to the book, Ms. Jeffries does an outstanding job with the seminar for managers. Every organization should experience.

Outstanding! I received this book several years ago when Roz spoke at a meeting of the Northern New Jersey Chapter of ASTD. It's about time someone listened to what employees want, and Roz has certainly done that. From "15 Ways to Get Rid of Your Staff" to "What Kinds of Recognition Would You Like to Receive," the book is a no-nonsense primer on recognition and rewards. Without exaggeration, I've recommended this book to easily a hundred or so colleagues, clients, and classmates over the past few years, and plan to distribute some copies as well.

101 Recognition Secrets is a tool that I have used daily since purchasing. This book provides quick, easy-to-use ways to recognize your employees. The author is obviously knowledgeable about what works to build a successfuly team, using motivation and recognition as building blocks for success. My employees can't wait to put their best foot forward!

I purchased this book with about 6 others to investigate new ways to recognize employees. This book is only 106 small pages long, but even at that length, the author and publisher padded almost every page with big fonts, cheap clip art, and LOTS of white space. I could look past this if only the few remaining ideas were valuable, but the book is full of ideas like "Give your employee a $100,000 bar (a candy bar) to recognize them for a good idea" or "Make everyone a big mug of hot chocolate"...
