This award may include a photograph of the honoree with an engraved nameplate in the lobby of the business, perhaps a reserved parking place and/or a small cash bonus. Variations on employee-of-the-month programs are almost endless. At Acapulco Restaurants in Long Beach, CA, the honoree also gets a paid day off. At Gregerson's Foods, a retail grocery chain in Cadsden, AL, the person receives a silver name tag inscribed with that title, the month and year of the award to wear as long as they work for the company. |

In one of my more baffling performance reviews, my boss wrote "Eileen needs to better organize her office so co-workers can find things." To be clear, my "office" was really a windowless cube about the size of a cocker spaniel crate. I occupied this tiny cube for eight hours each day during which time Kate Moss couldn't shimmy in to borrow a stapler. |

One of the occasional drawbacks of employee recognition is the time when praise or thanks actually has a negative impact on a person's performance.
