It is vital, especially during challenging economic times, that entrepreneurs recognize their staff for all their tough work. If you can confirm and re-enforce your team members' worth and contribution while your organization is dealing with the global downturn, you stand a better likelihood of keeping your best folks when the economy turns around and opportunities to leave become plentiful.

Recognition can be used strategically by bosses to reward good behaviour and keep team members "present" and accountable for favourable results.

When we think about recognition, most may think about honoring and money rewards. However, it will require a holistic approach to make sure that employees of your team know their significance to your ongoing success. Just about all we do as business owners in the office either contributes to or takes away from how recognized and appreciated our workers feel. If you, as the owner of the organization, go into work feeling and acting as if you're a victim of the down economy, your team will track your lead and adopt a helpless perspective and blame external factors for shortage of expansion and sales.


But contemporary studies (surveying thousands of employees across Australia) have obviously shown that the cornerstone of pointed recognition is actually "opportunity". An award could be a real, formal sign of recognition, but workers view opportunity as the first indicator that their chief values them.

Opportunities do not need to be pricey to be effective. You can offer the chance for a team member to better themselves by doing something as trusting them with VIP patrons or introducing them to a key figure within or outside of the organization. It's also been proved that staff find recognition more inherently valuable when it's administered individually ( i.e. in private) rather than in public.

Companies should employ the 80-20 rule-keeping in mind that workers respond best to a blend of various mixture of recognition.

The remaining 80 percent should come from the business (i.e. intrinsic recognition) and direct praise must always come from the manager, and be delivered in non-public, to maximize the impact. Timely approval and recognition from the owner or manager is the only way for a worker to judge his/her results and stay accountable by targeting targets and solutions. Opportunity is really the #1 motivator - and it frequently will not cost the business a cent, which is superb news in challenging times like these.
