John R. Schaefer
John Schaefer is the founder of Schaefer Recognition Group and a representative of Incentive Services.
He has spent almost 30 years helping his clients improve their approach to recognition, employee engagement and performance management.
John and his team provide a simple path from "What To Do" to "How To Do It", so they can optimize their most valuable asset - People!
When engaged supervisors convince your employees that they truly care, and genuinely mean it, your organization begins to see significant results. The goal, he tells managers, is to “Make it Real!”
The secret is integrating all employee recognition/ incentive initiatives into a single, technology-based strategy that targets 8-12 meaningful touchpoints per employee per year to maximize the ROI of their
award/reward programs.
Beginning his career as an Industrial Engineer, graduating from ASU, John worked for a large aerospace manufacturer, then a small family business. He decided to do something about the poor morale and low engagement that he witnessed in the corporate workplace and entered the recognition/employee engagement business.
