Course Outline

Effective and successful recognition programs are dynamic cycles of assessment, strategy, implementation, and review. While this cycle is easy to define, it’s difficult to execute. RPI offers an introductory course and the four CRP course sequence to help professionals successfully execute the cycle.

Promote awareness and develop a thorough understanding of the vital role recognition plays in organizations with this hour-long course.
