Thursday - Your Staff

Recognition is a motivating tool that is easy to do and can go a long way. Here are some ideas:

Most employees want individual recognition and that doesn't necessarily mean money.

Make sure you give the recognition soon after your employee does something. Match the recognition with the performance.

Make sure you are specific about what you are giving recognition for. It helps the employee know what they did and helps them continue to do them.

And make sure you know your employee. Some employees don't want to be the center of attention, so making a big deal out of something in front of everyone can do more harm then good.
