205: 100-fold benefits of employee recognition with David Long
When you recognize your top performers, everyone gets better and you make more money as a business owner.
That’s the quick way of saying a recognition culture is powerful and transformative.
My guest today is David Long, the brother of another favorite guest, Randy Long. Like his brother, he’s an author, speaker, entrepreneur and business owner. Unlike his brother, he’s the founder of MyEmployees—a worldwide leader in the employee recognition industry.
You’ve probably seen his employee recognition plaques in Wal-Mart, Target, Lowe’s or in a number of other companies that know the benefits that come from an employee recognition culture.
David tells me the incredible story of the desperate start his business got after he lost seven jobs in three and a half years.
He then tells how a $700 base for his business turned into the $10.5 million business it is now.
He pins most of that growth on the employee recognition culture he inspires in his own business and in others.
To improve your employees, the #1 thing to do is recognize them. David Long of @MyEmployees
