4 Ways to Show Love to Your Employees
A Little Appreciation Goes a Long Way
LET THEM TAKE CHARGE If you see a teammember taking the reins on a project, you need to reward their initiative. Employees who feel empowered to bring their own ideas into the fold are often the most productive and satisfied staffmembers. When you notice somebody going above and beyond, don’t let them toil in silence. A little acknowledgement and confidence will inspire other teammembers to bring their A-game, as well. LITTLE TOKENS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE What if every one of your employees walked in onValentine’s Day to find some candy hearts on their desk? And what if a few randomly selected boxes had a slip for a few hours of paid time off? It costs almost nothing to you, but it shows you’re thinking of them. Little, creative bonuses like this can be a huge pick-me-up. Don’t announce your plans in advance. The surprise will make the gesture all the sweeter.
Valentine’s Day is all about showing love and appreciation to those around you. You’ve probably already booked
a dinner reservation and ordered flowers for your significant other (at least, we hope you have), but don’t forget it’s just as important to show love to your employees. Spreading a little positivity will raise employee morale, and it doesn’t require a grand gesture on your part. Here are some easy, meaningful ways to let your employees know you care.
MAKE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PUBLIC Sometimes, a simple high-five and“Job well done!”is enough to remind your employees of your appreciation. But if you want to take giving props to the next level, create a shared space where employees can spread the love around. You can create a wall in the break roomwhere employees can credit each other or you can provide a public forum for verbal encouragement. Either way, receiving wider recognition will mean a lot to your staff.
HAVE A STAFF DINNER This one sounds obvious, but too few companies take the time to break bread with their teams. Eating is a fundamentally communal activity, and getting everyone together for a meal will boost spirits. Put a moratoriumon any shop talk and use the meal as a chance to learnmore about your employees’lives. If you have a larger staff, it’s better to break into teams. Your staff dinner shouldn’t feel like a work event. The goal should simply be to have a good time.
