How Many Business Awards Have You Won in Your Career?
 That's the Stevie Awards survey question for January. Follow the link below to respond.
Here are the results of the December survey, which asked, "Does Your Company Have a Formal Employee Recognition/Awards Program?" Only 50% of respondents said yes, while 46.2% said no and 3.8% said they didn't know.
Those figures contrast with a 2002 survey conducted by WorldAtWork, a non-profit organization, which said that 85% of respondents' companies had employee recognition programs in place, but only 22% of them had implemented them within the past year.
