Motivate Your Employees - Give Praise

It's no secret that praise for a job well done is a great motivator. In fact, lack of recognition is consistently among the tops reasons employees leave their job. So how do you give good praise? Follow these three tips:

1.
Be specific with the praise. For example: "Great job on that ROI report. I appreciate how thorough it was and that you sent it a day early."
2.
Be genuine – employees can spot it when you're not being authentic
3.
Give praise immediately after the work is done; don't save it for your weekly meeting.
