In light of Valentine’s Day being just around the corner, we thought we’d take you back to grade school when during this holiday, little cards and candies were exchanged among peers. Remember how excited you got when you saw one of those shiny red cards on your desk? Although we might be a little older and much busier, that feeling of appreciation for another’s consideration remains.
Taking the time to write a quick note for a job well done can give your employees the pick me up they need to get through a tiring day. It doesn’t take much effort and certainly not much money to provide this gesture of gratitude and it can have much more of an impact than just telling a person. Making it personal can also show the employee that it is coming from a genuine place. What did they do to earn this special note of appreciation? Make sure they know that they are a true asset to the team and that their efforts do not go unnoticed. This will be sure to boost their confidence and give them motivation to keep pushing for excellence.
Thanks to the help of Cindy Ventrice, best-selling author Make Their Day! Employee Recognition That Works (which can be purchased via our website http://www.herndonrecognition.com/ourknowledgebase.php), we’ve discovered a new recognition social media site that we think is a great and easy way to share the love throughout an organization. The site is called SPARCET and is a way for your company to send notes and share kudos on the web. We think it’s pretty innovative! Check it out at www.sparcet.com and let us know what you think!
