Category: Benchmark Request

Respect for every individual is at the core of lean/continuous improvement systems. Therefore, recognizing our employees and ensuring they feel seen, heard, and valued is important to the success of our organizations. At this session of “The Bench”, we will gather to talk about how your organization recognizes and rewards your greatest asset, your people. How do you recognize employees at your organization? As we gather at The Bench we'll pose questions, share challenges, and share success stories in hopes that we can help others re-imagine how they recognize and reward their employees. This will be an open forum exchange of best practices. Hope you can join us! Date: Wednesday, March 15, 2023 Time: 2-3pm Venue: Zoom Open to all NWHPEC members, no cost Registration link
