Are You Praising Your Employees Effectively?
April 10, 2008
Employees expect to be recognized for their work and accomplishments. So, if you’re happy with your employees—let them know and really show it. For recognition to strengthen your team’s performance consider the following:
- Don’t wait. For maximum positive reinforcement, offer praise as soon the desired action is displayed.
- Be genuine. Words can fall flat if you are not sincere in why you are praising them. Praise because you are truly appreciative and excited about their success. Their success means success for the company.
- Face-to-face. Always praise face-to-face. This shows the action was important enough for you to put aside everything else to focus on that person.
- Save the feedback. Too many mangers undercut praise with a concluding note of criticism. That criticism will erase everything that came before. Save corrective feedback for the next similar assignment.
