April 2003 NewsletterHampton Road Section 1114 MOTTO: BACK TO BASICS Mission Statement _____________________________________________________________________ April Meeting Announcement What do the following workplace behaviors have in common? They are all potential signs that an organization has a self-esteem problem, more specifically a recognition problem. According to Abraham Maslow, one of the highest-level motivators is self-esteem. People with healthy self-esteem are confident in their ability to deal with challenges and change. They respect themselves and others. Self-esteem is about self-image and it plays a major role in our professional success and social relationships. So how does that fit in with recognition? A planned, well-balanced recognition strategy builds and supports the self-esteem of an organization's employees. Recognizing individual talent, ability, achievement, and contributions, helps build and maintain healthy individual self-esteem. Ultimately, it can build a healthy organizational self-image that leads to profits, productivity, and success. If we follow ten basic recognition principles, we can help people and companies learn to feel good about themselves. Todd P.

It is entirely my fault. I have not placed an emphasis on getting information out to you on what we the board has been doing the past few months and the things we have planned.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 22nd at Carmela’s and our topic is Recognition programs. Todd Whitmore is our speaker and he has spent 25 years dealing with this issue. It should be an interesting topic. Also, during that meeting we will be having elections for the next fiscal year.
