1) The document describes a webquest where students pretend to be settlers in mid-19th century California tasked with bartering and trading to obtain ingredients to bake a cake without money.
2) Students will work in pairs to choose a cake, make an ingredient list, research prices and alternative payment methods of the time, and explain how they will obtain each ingredient.
3) After obtaining ingredients, students will research cooking methods of the time and bake the cake over a fire without modern appliances before being evaluated on creativity, sources used, and overall success.
Less than half of your employees are satisfied with their reward and recognition programs, despite increased spending among companies to improve these programs. Why? In her virtual conference webcast, “I Can’t Get No…Satisfaction”, Michelle Pokorny, Solution Vice President for Employee Engagement and Recognition at Maritz Motivation Solutions will share results from a recent study aimed at helping employers gain key insights on what impacts the success of an employee reward and recognition program.
From study to study, satisfaction with recognition is consistently and highly correlated with overall engagement. It is a key indicator of how engaged an employee will be, and thus how productive and loyal. But why can recognition experiences, programs and practices have this type of impact? Some of the latest insights from human science sheds light on why recognition can be so motivating, rewarding and drive behavior. It also offers new insights into how to make Recognition more than just a "thanks," but a powerful cultural, leadership and development tool.
