IDEAS ON HOW TO APPRECIATE YOUR EMPLOYEES

Posted on , in ADVICE & TIPS, by

Do you appreciate your employees?

Thanking your employees for their contributions towards the success of your enterprise does not require long-term planning or a special occasion. There are simple ideas you can adopt as a way of appreciating your team, which can go a long way towards motivating various individuals within your company.

Leaving a thank you note for a hard-working member of staff may appear a small thing, but it works wonders when you want to encourage them by expressing how much you value them. Here are a few ideas on how to appreciate your staff.

Give Your Employees Money

Every employee is entitled to a monthly pay as per their employment contract, but you can go beyond that whenever possible to appreciate your staff for the achievements of your organization. One of the best ways to reward your workers is by giving them money in the form of an end of year bonus. Some years are good for business while others have their fair share of challenges, which may make it difficult for employers to give their staff something above their monthly dues as a token of appreciation.

When a particular year is good for business, it makes a lot of sense to give employees some bonus because they are part of the success you are enjoying. The percentage that employers offer as bonuses varies from one company to the other depending on various reasons. For instance, those who work at TechSmith receive a portion of their annual pay in bonuses at the end of the year.

Provide Opportunities for Staff

Some organizations prioritize executives when they need representation at philanthropic events, professional association meetings, or during public gatherings. Unfortunately, your managers may be unavailable for essential functions on various occasions due to the nature of their job, which may affect your firm in one way or another.

Opening company representation opportunities to your staff serves as a platform for exposure, and most individuals will embrace such chances willingly. So, the next time you are considering who you should send as a representative of your firm at a particular event opt for a few employees because this gesture will leave lasting memories in their minds.

Organize A Treat for Lunch

We all love celebrating such special occasions as birthdays, anniversaries, and other achievements. Honouring special events of particular employees or the milestones they achieve by treating the entire workforce over the lunch hour is a welcome idea they will hardly resist. You can also plan a surprise staff lunch for no specific reason as a way of thanking your workers, and it will most assuredly serve as an indication that their commitment does not go unnoticed.

Mind The Welfare of Your Employees

The idea of working in an organization where no one cares about the issues affecting your life as an employee is demeaning, and it can affect your productivity. As an employer, you can make it your aim to find details about the lives of your coworkers beyond the office. When employees discover that you have genuine interests whenever you ask about their family, hobbies, and aspirations, they feel valued because it is a sign that you mind their well being.

Consider Personalized Gifts

The act of presenting gifts on special occasions and other celebrations is commonplace for most individuals. Employers who give their staff gifts to offer sympathy or as a way of celebrating them light up the day for those who receive the token. Personalized gifts such as greeting cards, drawing, wall hangings, or souvenirs have a special touch that goes beyond words, and they can create lasting memories of how you value your coworkers.
