Tell People Why They Are Valued
Most people care more about being recognized and appreciated than they do about money. Very often what gets lost in the daily overwhelm is telling people what it is that you value about them. By adding this simple practice to how you manage your people you can make a tremendous difference in the results that they achieve.
Every person contributes in some way to the service or product that a company delivers. Whether it is to answer the phone and be the first point of contact for a customer, or a sales person in the field, that employee needs to understand the value they contribute. This is the best single way to create a motivated workforce.
Ask yourself if you have told someone important to you what it is that you value about them. And then go do something about it!
