Employee Recognition: Reminders for Appreciating Employees

 

Leadership Tip of the Month by Ron Jasniowski


With the hectic pace we operate in, it’s hard to remember to take a few moments to catch an employee doing something right and appreciate them for it. And, all too often when the thought comes to our mind that this employee did well, we think, it’s about time and we don’t appreciate them and reinforce behavior we want repeated.

 

Try this: start your day with three large coins (or tokens) in your pocket. The coins are reminders to look for someone doing something right and recognize them for it. As you recognize them, put one coin in the other pocket. You should finish the day with all your coins in the other pocket. If coins don’t work for you, try Post-it notes.

 

"Working for low pay and no recognition is daily misery."
