“Employee of the Month” was a great way to inspire employees…in 1975. Now it’s something better suited to a punch line in an episode of The Office or a Dilbert cartoon.
As a small business owner, you don’t have to do things the stuffy old way. It’s time for the new hotness.
In this video, I share a method one of my clients discovered for motivating and recognizing exceptional employees. Watch this quick video to get this “awesome” tool!
Action Steps:
- Apply Acts of AWESOMENESS: Consistently and publicly reward exceptional employee contributions.
- Don’t just reward the exceptional employee, but also the individual who called attention to their great performance.
- Comment below to share how YOU celebrate employee recognition.
Principles:
- Too often we become obsessed with things that aren’t working, which can be a real employee downer.
- Rewarding people for finding the good encourages a positive mindset.
- Thanks to Travis Kindler of Kinco for sharing this great idea!
