The non-profit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center hosts a free talk on August 18 as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm in the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney at 655 Kilauea Avenue in Hilo.
This month’s speaker is Joan Shafer on “Working with Employee Recognition – The Linchpin Value for Cultural Transformation in Your Organization.”
“Everyone wants to be recognized, appreciated, thanked, and rewarded for their contributions. Yet, a shocking number of people never get any such response and are left wondering how they did, where they stand, and what they need to do to get a response,” says Shafer. “Not only that, the ways that people want to be recognized are not what you think.” In this talk, Shafer reveals the range of recognition platforms, approaches to take with employees, and insights as to what is gained when recognition is active within an organization or team.
Joan Shafer is a recognized expert on ’employee recognition’ – a topic she has been researching and working with organizations on for the past 19 years. She is a renowned speaker and trains management teams on how to strengthen their capability with employee recognition.
Ku‘ikahi’s Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch, enjoy an informal and educational talk-story session, and meet others interested in “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace.”
This lunch-and-learn series is made possible thanks in part to funding from the Atherton Family Foundation. For more information, contact Ku‘ikahi Administrative & Program Assistant Jenifer Aveiro at 935-7844 x 1 orjenifer@hawaiimediation.org. Or visit www.hawaiimediation.org.
