Paul Marciano is an authority on employee engagement and respect in the workplace. He earned his doctorate in psychology from Yale University and has worked in the field of human resources and organizational development for over 25 years. His best-selling McGraw-Hill business book “Carrots and Sticks Don’t Work” has received critical acclaim around the world and been translated into several languages. Dr. Paul’s mission is to spread respect in the workplace because it is both the right thing to do and because treating others with respect leads to a highly engaged, productive, and satisfied workforce.
Carrots and Sticks Don't Work: the title says it all. Reward and recognition programs can be costly and inefficient, and they primarily reward employees who are already highly engaged and productive performers. In fact, these programs often lead to a decrease in motivation among average performers who represent the greatest potential for increasing an organization's overall human capital. Unfortunately, most business leaders and human resource professionals are simply unaware of a more effective approach.
Paul Marciano's strategies – supported by decades of research and practice – create an organizational culture of respect that results in a more effective organization, with reduced turnover and absenteeism and employees at all levels who are engaged, focused, and committed to succeed as a team. Rooted in the premise that human relationships only "work" within the context of respect, and anchored by seven key principles, application of the RESPECT Model leads to meaningful and enduring gains in employee morale and discretionary effort. In short, you get maximum ROI from your organization's most powerful resource: its people!
