Employee volunteers who go above and beyond deserve recognition. Rewards and awards programs offer your employees incentive to get involved, fun competition with their coworkers, and a feeling of being appreciated. But we think these volunteer champions deserve something more than a free t-shirt. In this month’s Best Practice Network (BPN) Webinar, we’ll hear from Nationwide and AT&T – two companies that get creative with their employee recognition programs. They’ll inspire you to start your own unique reward practices. Oh, and we’ll be doing things a little differently this month. We’re excited to announce “Bite-Sized BPNs”: The same great information packed into half the time. Pairs well with coffee, lunch, or snack breaks.
