The nonprofit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center is hosting a free talk from noon-1 p.m. Aug. 18 as part of its monthly “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series.
The talk will take place in the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, 655 Kilauea Ave. in Hilo. This month’s speaker is Joan Shafer, who will present “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,” Shafer said. “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.
Shafer is a recognized authority on employee recognition, a topic she has researched and worked with organizations to improve for the past 19 years.
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.”
Talks are the third Thursday of every month. This series is made possible in part by funding from the Atherton Family Foundation.
