Imagine this, you’ve started your business and with all the effort you invested, it is now thriving! You are starting to grow and hire more and more employees… and learning what a challenge it is to not only hire the *right* people, but also to *keep* the right people on your team. Motivating your team consistently can be one of the most exhausting parts of being a leader, sometimes seemingly impossible. But it is possible and all you have to do is say two words: Thank you --, Workers frequently feel overlooked and unappreciated, which leads to unhappy employees and increased turnover. By recognizing and thanking them for their efforts they’ll Whereas just recognizing and thanking them for all they do they will become happy employees who will be motivated to succeed, leading to better work output and productivity.

You don't need to spend a lot of money or time to see a big impact. There are a few very simple ways to show your appreciation. Keep reading:


   
Reward with a personalised gift
First things first, talk to your employees, listen to their interests-- not only will this win you motivational brownie points but it will give you some inspiration to reward them with something they’ll REALLY appreciate. For example if your team member is really into fitness then a gift card or fitness item like a yoga mat might be very much appreciated. Finding the right reward for the right person goes a long way toward building rapport, which will motivate them to keep producing their best work.

Leave random handwritten notes recognizing their hard work
Email, Whatsapp, and text messages are all well and good, but a handwritten note always feels more personal. Do you remember the last time you were left a handwritten note? Were you pleasantly surprised? Handwritten anything is becoming a thing of the past, and even if it's just a simple sticky note, your team will notice you took time out of your day to say “I see your hard work, thank you”. This is really simple tip, but it's also very effective.

Recognise Hard Working Individuals
Even the most bashful employees want to be recognized for their hard work. If they are truly shy, you might want to skip publicly forcing them into the spotlight, but name-dropping them and their accomplishments at conferences, meetings and networking events, or on your company’s social media accounts, may be one way of acknowledging them publicly, but still modestly.  

There are many, many more ways to thank your team and colleagues-- but in the end it boils down to spending a little time with them to understand what makes them tick and what they find meaningful. This may take a little effort, but just think how much more effort you would expend trying to replace them if they became unhappy and left. The time and effort to build up your team offers a big payout-- less turnover, happier people, and a strong bond between you and your team.
