Making your employee’s feel as if they are valued members of your team, and that you appreciate the work they put in, is something that no business should overlook. It may sound like modern day ‘molly coddling’ and you might even think that provided your staff are treated with respect and are paid on time, that praising them or offering them tokens of appreciation is unnecessary, but I can assure you that even the smallest gesture towards recognizing their efforts, will not go unnoticed by your staff, and may even inspire them to work even harder!

There are many ways in which you can do this, but here are 5 great ways to show your employee’s that you value them:

Even though your employee (or co-worker) may simply have carried out a task according to your instructions, if they did it well or went above and beyond in their efforts, then you should tell them so and thank them for this. If they consistently perform to your expectations, then let them know that you have noticed this; you don’t have to go over the top and give constant praise, but your recognition of their work will be encouraging for your staff and they are far more likely to continue in the same vein.

Make the effort to find out about some of the personal activities that your staff enjoy pursuing outside of work (and I mean hobbies, clubs, etc. nothing too personal!) and ask them about these from time to time. Showing that you take an interest in their lives outside of the workplace will make them feel as if you genuinely care about them and value them as individuals, not just employees.

Don’t see giving gifts to your employee’s as a waste of valuable money, rather see it as an exercise to encourage feelings of worth among your employee’s; an employee who feels appreciated is far more like to remain loyal to your company and continue working hard for you.

If at all possible, as an employer you should definitely consider making their vacation planning schedules as flexible as possible. Nothing makes an employee feel less content in their job, than being told that they can’t have the time off of work that they have requested due to a rigid and inflexible calendar.

Depending on your finances, you should always try and offer performance or attendance related bonuses to your employee’s, which goes without saying, will encourage them to work hard and perform to their maximum. Yes, it will cost you, but you will reap the rewards in the long term as you’re contented and appreciated employees, will have the continued incentive to perform well in the workplace.

Even something as simple as saying ‘thank you’ to your staff as and when deserved, can turn a lacklustre workforce into a team of hard working and loyal employee’s; all the better for you and your business.
