Course Description
You know how important it is to give your employees the recognition and appreciation they deserve. You understand that an employee who is esteemed and respected is more likely to be engaged with their work. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to recognize and appreciate your employees. Not every employee likes to be rewarded the same way; some shy away from public recognition, and some prefer tangible rewards to kind words. And vague language—a simple “good job,” for example—doesn’t carry a lot of meaning. There are many ways to show your employees you care about them, but it’s important to tailor this appreciation to their specific needs. But how can you do that? And what options for recognition and appreciation are available to you?
In this course, we’ll explore some strategies for giving your employees recognition and appreciation. We’ll discuss how to do this on an individual basis versus a team basis, as well as how you can recognize the efforts of remote employees. By the end of this course, you’ll have a better understanding of best practices and common pitfalls associated with recognizing and appreciating employees.
