Join Halogen Software for an inspiring webcast from renowned author and engagement expert Chester Elton and learn how fostering a recognition culture can motivate your employees and drive business results for your organization. Based on his runaway New York Times best-seller The Carrot Principle, Elton will reveal the groundbreaking results of one of the most in-depth management studies ever undertaken.
This breakthrough 10-year study of 200,000 people found dramatically greater business results when managers offered constructive praise and meaningful rewards in ways that powerfully motivated employees to excel.
Drawing on case studies from leading companies, Elton will share how the transformative power of purpose-based recognition produces astonishing increases in operating results, such as higher productivity, engagement, retention, and customer satisfaction.
This presentation introduces the simple steps to become a Carrot Principle manager and to build a recognition culture in your organization. You’ll also hear about how this culture can be enabled by a best practices-based talent management system that supports better business results.

• Communication
• Trust

15. Accountability
“At first, I think our employees found it hard to believe
this was all really happening. Seeing managers being
held accountable for employee satisfaction, budgets and
training and development is helping to strengthen our
organization's employee accountability and to boost
overall morale.”
Tim Mulligan, Chief Human Resources Officer

“BAF has transformed employee performance
management from a once a year chore to an ongoing,
year-round process. Managers now provide regular
feedback and coaching to employees. This has been

19. The Basic Four
• Goal Setting
• Communication
• Trust
•Accountability
20. Goals
Goal Setting that helps set expectations
“Having employee goals clearly and objectively laid out and the
ability to track their progress in real time ensures that there are
no surprises during the performance conversation between
manager and employee. Employees know what is expected of
them and this makes them accountable and the system
becomes transparent. This has enabled the Bank to increase
employee engagement in the process.”
Laura Van Well, HR Officer

“Turnover rates decreased from 20 per cent to 4 per cent. People
feel really good about what they do and what they contribute
knowing there are a lot of different promotions and leadership roles
that have evolved through our leadership development program,
which is part of our performance management and career
development approach. 64 per cent of the company's leadership
positions are now held by individuals promoted from within.”
Michelle Reid, HR Manager
