Employee Rewards and Recognition

Overview

As an HR manager in a large health care organization, you have developed a new reward and recognition program designed to help increase employee motivation and job satisfaction in a specific hospital department of your choice. You may choose either a clinical or non-clinical department.

Based on the course readings and a minimum of four appropriate sources of research, create a 4-?6 page executive summary suitable for presentation to senior leadership on employee motivation that includes the following:

Determine which department is suitable for the reward and recognition program.

Identify a specific goal the employees must work on to be eligible for recognition or to receive the award.

Examples include reducing errors, increasing customer or patient satisfaction, reducing costs.

Research a specific motivation theory and determine why this method would be the most practical and effective for this program.

Theories such as the expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory, Management by Objectives (MBO), or the four-prong model of intrinsic motivation.

Explain why the selected theory would be the most practical and effective for the rewards and recognition program.
