Dear Taraci Collection Client, I am proud to introduce you to the ninth edition of the Taraci Collection, our annual compendium of the best products available for incentive and recognition programs, published by my company TARACI MOTIVATION. We have selected items from the world’s most prestigious brands: Sony, Apple, Canon, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Callaway, Nike, Panasonic, Bose, Baume & Mercier, Viking, Ritz Carlton, and many others, to create our most exciting collection ever. I am very excited to add the French luxury chocolate and gourmet food brand, FAUCHON, to our gift catalog. Founded in 1886 in Paris, FAUCHON is recognized the world over as the premier brand in this category. Combined with the most distinctive gift packaging, FAUCHON makes the perfect holiday gift. In addition to the print version, you can also view our first digital Taraci Collection at www.taraci.com. Managerial Crises: The Disenfranchised Employee Recent studies by the Gallup organization reveal a disturbing trend for American business. As our article “Danger!!! Lost Employees (and Customers) Up Ahead” points out, 90% of our workforce is disenfranchised; that is, either not engaged or totally disengaged in their jobs. It should be clear to American management that this crisis level of unmotivated employees must be rectified or all other efforts to achieve corporate goals will fail. The time is now, more than ever, to attack the problem with an aggressive motivation strategy. TARACI MOTIVATION has a variety of programs to reach employees early and keep them engaged. Global Rewards Platform Adding to our already effective global platform, recent improvements to our international network of partners have given Taraci Motivation an unsurpassed ability to design and execute a worldwide incentive solution. We can now run programs in Europe, the Pacific Rim, South Africa, Mexico, South America, Mexico, Canada, and of course, the United States. Award merchandise is shipped in country and in region, greatly reducing shipping and duty costs. In addition to our global fulfillment capability, our MotivationMgr™ software can build an online catalog in any language. Combined with in-country customer service, there has never been a more universal solution for a global rewards program. Given the treacherous, competitive state of this post recession recovery, there has never been a stronger case for motivation and incentive programs, aligned with corporate goals and marketing strategy. If you would like to learn what it takes to run a state-of-the-art Motivation Program, just call or email me to schedule a brief webinar “Secrets of an Effective Incentive Program”. Best Regards,

f the success of Avatar is any indication, the public’s appetite for 3D is not going away any time soon and 3D TV is already here. Are you ready? Most manufacturers such as Samsung, Mitsubishi, and Panasonic have released LCD and Plasma 3D HDTV models, but there’s a lot to consider when jumping into the 3D TV market. Here are some things to keep in mind as 3D TV buyers prepare to purchase.

Don’t forget to buy your glasses. Before you invite the neighbors over to watch a movie in your new home theater, be sure you purchase enough pairs of 3D glasses to go around. The current crop of 3D HDTVs from Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony all require active shutter glasses for 3D viewing. At about $150 per pair, this necessary accessory adds considerable cost.

The 3 Do’s and 3 Don’ts of 3D Television

Do get it for gamers. While mainstream television and movies might be slower to adapt to 3D technology, the gaming market has welcomed the progress with open arms. Most video gaming platforms are already making most of their games capable of 3D. By 2012 it would not be outrageous to think that nearly 100% of video games will be 3D capable.

Do expect excellent picture quality. Just because you are getting first generation technology is no reason to think that you need to sacrifice one drop of the HD experience you used to have. In many cases you actually have an even higher frame rate then most typical HD televisions. Don’t expect your favorite shows to go 3D any time soon. Networks are definitely excited but most are not ready to take the costly plunge into producing their shows in Standard, HD and 3D formats. Some television events, such as the World Cup and some NFL games, have already been broadcast in 3D so you will get some added perks right away. There are always Blu-Ray movies as well. DirecTV, for one, promises to air at least 85 live sporting events (including college basketball and football games as well as the Summer X Games) in 2010. Do buy a Blu-Ray player. If you are buying yourself a 3D television you need to add a few hundred dollars to the purchase to watch all of the 3D-enabled Blu-Ray movies that have been released. Some 3D televisions boast the ability to convert 2D into 3D on their own, but movies that are filmed to be in 3D are going to have a better quality.

www.taraci.com

Don’t expect a bargain…yet. Just as the first years when TVs had gone flat, you can expect to pay a premium to be the first on your block with a 3D television. If Plasma, LCD, and LED technology has taught us anything, it’s that the price of the technology WILL eventually come down. So, if you can handle not seeing your Netflix movies in 3D, you may want to wait before taking the 3D plunge. Also, there are competing 3D technologies in the wings. JVC is developing HDTVs that can show 3D using lessexpensive passive glasses, but the sets themselves will cost a lot more. Hitachi and Toshiba are working on sets based on parallax barrier technology that won’t require glasses at all. (Reportedly, this is the same technology Nintendo will employ on its forthcoming portable 3D gaming system, the 3DS.) 3D TV glasses shown- Samsung Rechargeable Battery Powered 3D Glasses

DANGER!!! Lost Employees (and Customers) Up Ahead

Most managers understand the meaning and importance of a committed workforce in customer retention. Yet a glance at the numbers reveals a dangerous situation exists in most organizations. A recent Gallup poll measuring the extent to which employees are engaged shows the following:

Disengaged-28%

Engaged-10%

Not Engaged-62%

Engaged Feel a deep connection toward the company. Drive innovation and have a positive impact on customer satisfaction.

Not Engaged Disinterested in their job or the company; just going through the motions.

Gallup Organization research shows that the longer an employee stays with a company, the less engaged he or she becomes. And that loss of commitment is costing American business in lost proﬁts and sales, and in lower customer satisfaction. In fact, Gallup estimates that actively disengaged employees– the least productive–cost the American economy up to $350 billion per year in lost productivity. To make matters worse 68% of customers cite poor employee attitude as the number one reason they go elsewhere. In fact 70% of brand perception is related to an employee experience. Other Statistics from Gallup underscore how quickly the engagement situation deteriorates: • 4% of New Employees Leave the 1st day • 65% Make the Decision to Leave in the 1st 30 Days!

Disengaged Not just dissatisﬁed but actively engaged in undermining company goals and destroying the good efforts of coworkers. They have a huge negative impact on customer perceptions.

How To Bring People On Board It seems a fundamental truth then, that to bring employees on board, instill loyalty and a committment to corporate goals, a well designed incentive and recognition culture needs to be developed. Whether it’s a wellness program, length of service, on-the-spot rewards, or other initiatives, senior management needs to make a committment to win their employee’s hearts and minds through a well thought out and sincere motivation and recognition offensive.

Let Taraci Motivation help you design a new motivation culture for your organization.

Wellness Programs: The Missed Opportunity The AMA reports that an astounding 87%of health care costs are related to behavioral factors. In other words changes in employee habits, over-eating, smoking, exercise, regular screening, can remarkably decrease corporate expenditures for heath care. In fact, every $1.00 invested in wellness returns from $3.48 to $5.82 in reduced health care costs. In spite of these numbers, Reuters reports that only 39 percent of American companies offered wellness programs in the form of weight management and just 27 percent provided nutritional training. Given that more than two-thirds of Americans are overweight, a cause of many of the most expensive health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, just focusing on obesity could have a huge economic impact.

Nambe Copper Canyon Candlesticks Lisa Smith has been inspired by her many trips to the canyons of the southwest. These canyons are carved from water and wind. The coppery sand and desert ﬂora are referenced by the copper and verdigris on the ripples and ridges of Nambé’s new Copper Canyon Collection.

The Piroett Vase brims with artistic ﬂair as well as tall ﬂower bouquets. Artist Lisa Smith designed the full-lead crystal piece with a square rim and undercut sides that seem to be unfurling as they spin up and off the heavy, square base. The sense of motion and strength is palpable in this beautiful, brilliant work.

Set the stage for elegant entertaining with our full-lead crystal Tilt Decanter. The clever angle deﬁes the imagination and encourages a spontaneous mood. Though it may look precariously balanced, the decanter is actually quite stable, thanks to the counterweight provided by the thick, sloping base.

Orrefors Difference Mature Wine

Orrefors Intermezzo Flute

A unique suite of wine glasses explicitly designed to enhance ﬂavor and bouquet, Difference is the creation of Erika Lagerbielke, one of Sweden’s foremost stemware designers, who worked on the new glasses in close cooperation with wine connoisseur Bengt-Goran Kronstam. Unlike other wine glasses, Difference is designed to reﬂect the wine’s maturity rather than grape variety or region.

Intermezzo Blue is Erika Lagerbielke’s hugely successful stemware and tableware series with the familiar blue drop in the stem. When designing Intermezzo, Erika was fascinated by the interplay between the austerity of the clear glass form and the life-giving blue drop-a drop that demands attention without raising its voice.
