Leading Reward and Recognition to Drive Performance

Budgets for pay rises and bonuses are tight across African organisations, yet leaders still have powerful ways to reward and recognise good work. This course helps managers use recognition well, understand what really motivates their people and get the most from the reward levers they control. Participants learn to celebrate performance in ways that feel genuine, fair and motivating rather than tokenistic.

Use recognition effectively even with limited financial resources.
Match rewards and recognition to individual preferences.
Ensure recognition is fair, timely and seen as credible.
