Employee Recognition

We were asked recently where to class works on employee recognition.  The LCSH is "Incentive awards," with a see reference from "Employee recognition." "Incentives in industry" is a broader term.  The DDC number is 658.3142 Incentives, with the Relative Index entry "Incentives—personnel management" and the upward hierarchy:
658.3 Personnel management (Human resource management)
658.31 Elements of personnel management
658.314 Motivation, morale, discipline
Examples of works on employee recognition classed in 658.3142 are The 1001 Rewards & Recognition Fieldbook: The Complete Guide, The Carrot Principle: How the Best Managers Use Recognition to Engage their People, Retain Talent, and Accelerate Performance, and Make their Day! : Employee Recognition that Works.

We plan to add "Employee recognition—personnel management" as a Relative Index term and to map the LCSH "Incentive awards" to 658.3142.

I'm a cataloger at Metropolitan Library System in OKC, OK, and I just want to thank you for maintaining this blog. It holds a special place in my favorites folder. One post that I would like to see is an in-depth look (maybe a series of posts?) at how you all come up with a new number for a new topic and how long this process takes. Also, more posts on the day-to-day work of the editors would be fascinating. Thanks and keep up with the good work!
