How effective are employee acknowledgement programmes?

Whenever an obstacle arises (and this can happen often in today’s business environment) one only needs to look at the frustrated and disappointed faces of you colleagues , and watch how quickly this negativity can spread.

It really is capable of very quickly spreading through a sales force, demotivating many in its path.

I pondered back on my past experience and thought of how many organizations have ineffective and costly procedures to motivate its workforce ( whether it be an internal ongoing acknowledgement system or team events)

this prompted me to think about how effective some Training organizations are in addressing these needs.

However here are some very specialized training companies out there that can in a matter of days by means of a tailored course and a best of breed trainer turn your departments low morale into a positive one.

One shinning example is the managing Performance course by Jefferson Training.

It effectively deals with the management and Supervisory team and retrains them in addressing its own departmental morale by improved Communication Skills, Motivational Skills and a wealth of other Skills

I am interested in hearing from readers experiences on the below subject:

Does you organization have an employee acknowledgement program? If so? How does it work? How effective is it at motivating employees?
