RECOGNITION

First Reaction/First Glance
It is common knowledge these days that recognition of a job well done far outweighs salaries and bonuses earned by the people who work for you or with you.

So, are phrases such as “Thank You”, “Way to go”, or “Atta-Boy” your way of recognizing accomplishments and achievements?


The Learning Process
A good question to ask yourself about your co-workers is what motivates them while they are at work. Each person’s motivations are different. Their activities outside of work, their children’s interests, favorite foods, hobbies or sporting events could all be a great way to structure your next compliment or recognition to them. Adding sincerity and relevance to your next opportunity for encouragement and praise may make the difference in the rest of their day.


Improvement for the Future
Just like most things in life, planning is helpful in everything you do. Why not gather your thoughts and take an extra few minutes and script some encouragement for a family member, friend, or a co-worker?
