As a business owner there are so many different things you need to think about on a day to day basis. Running a business requires constant vigilance in order to have a successful operation. Having hardworking and loyal employees definitely helps make your job much easier. Excellent employees can help handle different aspects of your job so that you can focus on other things. One way that you can help keep your employees happy is by consistently showing your appreciation for them. ASAP Transportation Service delves into this topic further below.
Acknowledge Employees for Hard Work
The first reason that you can show your employees some appreciation is by taking the time to recognize them for their hard work. Many times business owners get so caught up in the day to day operations of their business that they do not take the time to simply recognize something an employee does and thank them for it. Studies have shown that being recognized makes your employees significantly happier. The happier your employees are the better they will perform for you at work.
Take Employees Out for Lunch
Taking time to recognize your employees does not have to be extravagant or time consuming all the time. Many times a simple and sincere thank you for a job well done can do the trick. Some employees take time to recognize employees at their staff meetings. Staff meeting employee recognition can take many different forms. Just look online and you will find all sorts of ideas for employee recognition. Sometimes you will want to plan something a little larger as a way to appreciate your employees. You can take your employees out to dinner and a show; a shopping spree; a trip to an amusement park; out to a fun recreational activity in your city; or more. All of these activities are more fun if you take them in a luxury vehicle.
Employees Work Hard when They Feel Appreciated
When your employees feel more appreciated they are more loyal to you as a boss. They trust you because they know that you will take care of them on a regular basis. If there is a feeling of trust in your business it keeps your employees connected to you and each other. It is reported that 90% of employees that trust their boss have had some sort recognition from their boss in the last month. Connected and loyal employees are more likely to work with you long term. Not having employee turnover saves you from the time, money, and stress training new employees can cause. According to some estimates it can cost you around $1,200 and 32 hours to train a new employee. In their first 60 days they could cost you as much as $4,000 in lost or compromised productivity.
