Best Practice Institute to Feature Globoforce in Online Learning Session

Recognition Expert Derek Irvine Will Discuss How Strategic Employee Recognition Can Boost Employee Morale and Ignite Productivity in Tough Times

Southborough, Mass., and Dublin, Ireland (Vocus) June 17, 2009 - Best Practice Institute (https://bestpracticeinstitute.org/), a community of leaders dedicated to pioneering and sharing best practices, will feature Globoforce (http://www.globoforce.com/corporate/eng/)'s Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Strategy Derek Irvine as a guest speaker in its online learning session on June 23 at 12 p.m. EST. The free webinar, 'The Power of Global Strategic Recognition,' will provide insightful best practices to help viewers learn how to harness employee recognition to put their company on track to greater productivity in today's recessionary economy.

In the wake of layoffs, cutbacks on employee benefits and the elimination of raises and bonuses, companies are in dire need of effective strategies that will lift employees out of recessionary ruts and ignite productivity in the workforce. In this timely webinar, Irvine will inform viewers how strategic employee recognition can boost morale, re-engage disenchanted employees, galvanize them around critical company goals and values and ultimately enhance company performance. Irvine will highlight the five tenets of global strategic recognition, which address best practices acquired from Globoforce's work with some of the world's largest and most diverse global organizations. He will also explain how companies can re-align and consolidate existing rewards budgets to accomplish this critical task at a savings of more than 50 percent of existing program costs.

The webinar is particularly beneficial to human resource executives, managers and directors of benefits or recognition and reward programs, as well as executives interested in increasing workforce morale and productivity.
