Dr. Paul White is a psychologist, author, speaker, and consultant who makes work relationships work. He is the coauthor of three books including, The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, written with Dr. Gary Chapman (author of the #1 NY Times bestseller, The 5 Love Languages), which has sold over 250,000 copies.

Based on their extensive research and expertise, Dr. White and Dr. Chapman have developed a unique way for organizations to motivate employees that leads to increased job satisfaction, higher employee performance, and enhanced levels of trust.

 

In this episode, Audrey, Lee and Paul discuss: 

  • Why managers struggle seeing the personhood in their employees
  • The difference between recognition and appreciation
  • How much should be budgeted
  • How should managers best show their appreciation and how often
  • The five languages of appreciation

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Today's managers must learn how to lead people
  • Not everyone feels appreciated in the same way
  • Some people don't like being recognized in front of a huge crowd
  • Free up time for your employees to get to know each other
  • The 1% of payroll allocation for recognition guideline is rubbish.

 

"It matters more how you show the appreciation, rather than how much you show it."— Dr. Paul White
