Sometimes we forget some of the basic principles of meaningful recognition.
There are 8 basic guidelines to positive recognition:
1. Make people feel like winners.
2. Recognize them as members of a group as well as individuals.
3. Make sure the recognition is appropriate for the achievement.
4. Give recognition in a way that conveys sincere appreciation.
5. Be sure the recognition fully acknowledges the people’s accomplishments.
6. Recognize the people as well as the achievement.
7. Make sure the recognition is equal to the recognition you have given others for similar achievements.
8. Tailor recognition is timely.
Remember one important point: motivated people means greater productively and efficiency, which means more power to the supervisor!
