Job Recognition

How often do we get recognition at our place of work? More often than not, we do not get any recognition from our superiors.

Importantly, recogniton does not have to cost anything. Taking just a few minutes to pen a handwritten note to relate the message that the support staff are appreciated and their input into the business is acknowledged. Other cheap and effective recognition include remembering birthdays and even one off rewards.

If the superior use more carrots and fewer sticks, not only do they have happier employees and at the end of the day lower turnover. It also means getting better results in terms of job performance. Saying `thank you' and `I appreciate your valuable input and opinion' is priceless.

In the end, it is a chicken and egg situation.

A bit of encouragement will goes a long way in ensuring staff loyalty towards the organisation and happier employees.

Something for sharing.
