Guidelines for Recognition and Celebrations

Ask employees to select goals by determining current performance in relation to the baseline on the trend (line) graph, where they would eventually like to be (the ultimate goal is usually 95 to 100 percent), and reasonable steps to get there  

The first goal is best set at the maximum level obtained during baseUne. 

Subsequent goals are set in increments no greater than the current variation from a prior goal. For example, if the maximum variation in percentage of Participation were 5 percent, then a reasonable subsequent goal would be 5 percent over the current level. 

New goals are set only when current goals are met. Thus, current goals may be in effect for varying lengths of time. 

Once the next goal is chosen, ask employees to select a celebration from several choices upon attaining that goal. If a novel celebration is suggested (i.e., one not on the list of options), the steering committee may offer to explore that as a possibility for the next goal.
