Recognition is one of the key players to keep employees
engaged and happy. We all enjoy hearing
that we have “done a great job” or just a simple “thanks” is all it takes to
make employees feel valued. When the
days get crazy, it is hard to remember to just take a moment to recognize others
for contributions to the company.
Recognition does not have to be expensive. One inexpensive idea that I like to do is
create what I call a Manager’s Toolkit. This allows a supervisor or manager to perform “on the spot” appreciation.
Supplies needed or add
your own creation:
Toolbox of sorts
(I get a small bucket or plastic tub from the local Dollar Tree that has a
handle on it)
Tokens of
|Appreciation – can be ordered from Oriental Trading (bag of 144 pieces for
$5.25)
Gold Chocolate Coins
(can get at Winco in their bulk bin for a few dollars/pound)
Set of Thank You
Cards – I buy the blank ones so the managers can write any personalized
note they wish. (Can get a small box of
50 for about $10-$15 at Office Depot)
