How to Show Employees You Appreciate Their Work as a Manager
22.12.2024 10:20
Working in a new team is not an easy task.
Especially when it comes to a leader.
Subordinates are skeptical about the changes, fearing a deterioration in working conditions.
The leader decides for himself which role to play – good cop or bad cop.
But regardless of the choice, it is important to be able to correctly demonstrate the employee’s value.
Show attention
Conversations on abstract topics will help you get to know the people you will be working with better.
When a boss is interested in the experiences of his subordinates, it increases trust.
Let the door to the manager's office always be open: this way, employees will get rid of the fear of approaching with a request.
Explain the mission and purpose
Employees want to know that work has meaning.
The task of a leader is to gather around himself a team united by a common mission.
The use of goals is suitable for this. A clearly defined, achievable goal is something you want to strive for.
Gratitude Notebook
The opportunity to celebrate each other's achievements will increase team cohesion.
Let employees have a special notebook where they can record their colleagues' achievements.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s gratitude or stories from life – the main thing is that no one goes unnoticed.
Confident leadership
Employees want to see a leader and mentor in their manager. The absence of fear of making a mistake will help them focus on work and take responsibility for solving the problem.
The immediate supervisor encourages colleagues to independently seek out non-standard solutions.
Managers see that their boss is interested in the development of their subordinates, and therefore they try to reveal their inner potential.
Victory Day Celebrations
A small celebration can help celebrate employees' achievements: pizza during lunch break or a bottle of champagne after work.
An organized trip to a restaurant or a movie will allow people to get to know each other better and communicate in an informal setting.
Material gifts become boring. Emotions remain forever.
Employees are a mirror of the manager
In a team where you are not afraid to ask your boss for help and thanking your colleagues is considered the norm, strong and productive relationships are formed.
By encouraging and respecting subordinates, a manager creates a well-coordinated and confident team around himself that can cope with any, even the most difficult task.
Previously, I talked about how to retain staff without raising wages.
