Your life is made up of a million different interactions. The memories you make and the relationships you create help make you who you are today. If you take a minute to think about some of your favorite memories you will probably notice a few themes among your memories. One category of memories may be times where you felt that you were truly appreciated. People tend to remember times when others truly appreciate them for the things they do. If you are a business owner or in any type of management there are many benefits to taking the time to truly appreciate your employees for all of the work that they are doing.
What is Employee Recognition?
When management takes time to truly appreciate their employees it makes their employees happier. Everyone likes to know they are being appreciated for all of the effort that they are making at work. Any employee worth having is putting everything they have into their job. When you take the time to recognize their effort it makes them happier to continue doing it. Happier employees are more productive than employees that are disgruntled at work. Another reason for taking the time to appreciate your employees is that it builds trust in the workplace. Statistics show that 90% of employees that receive recognition or thanks from their boss in the past month trust their boss more than those who did not receive recognition. When your employees trust management they have a deeper connection to the leadership at work. This connection results in an atmosphere where everyone is watching out for the best interest of your company. Knowing that your employees want your business to succeed just as much as you do is every business owners dream come true!
Loyal Employees are Your Most Valuable Asset
The biggest reason that business owners and management should make a point to recognize their employees is that employees who feel like their work is valued will be more loyal employees. When your employees stay at your business you do not have to take the time to train new employees. Training new employees is expensive! Your customers like to see a stable group of employees representing your business. Customers feel like your business is superior because you are able to keep your employees happy.
