Montreal, Quebec and New York, New York (PRWEB) May 24, 2007 -- Rideau Recognition Solutions, Inc., North America's leading provider of Web-based incentive management programs, today is proud to herald the graduation with flying colors of four senior executives from the inaugural Certified Recognition Professional curriculum offered by the Recognition Professionals International (RPI) formerly known as the National Association for Employee Recognition (NAER).
RPI launched the four one-day facilitator-led training courses in 2006, with the last two courses in the curriculum being offered for the first time in Savannah, GA at their Annual Recognition Conference in April 2007. The curriculum includes:
Course 1. Structuring Recognition Programs for Success
Course 2. Strategic Planning and Measurement
Course 3. Recognition Management and Maintenance
Course 4. Applying Recognition Systems
The goals of the CRP Certification Program involve raising the professional standards of those engaged in Employee Recognition and encouraging continuing education in the field. It is meant to foster self-development by offering guidelines and enabling individuals to identify and award special recognition to persons who have demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge of those principles and practices of employee recognition.
By graduating as Certified Recognition Professionals, our executives Peter, Gordon, Jennifer, and John can continue to better align recognition goals with company goals and develop programs that will achieve the desired outcome, resulting in measurable bottom-line results for the organization.
"If you are not ever-learning new ways to stay on the cutting edge of your field then you are really regressing. We want to be at the front of the pack and these courses will certainly help us stay there." says Peter Hart President and CEO of Rideau Recognition Solutions.
