'Little things count in employee motivation'
Date: 20/01/2009
Small things do make a difference when showing employees how much they are appreciated, one commentator asserts.
Real estate expert Pauline Dickson believes spontaneous incentives and recognition for work show staff they are valued, the Ledger reports.
"It's the little things that make them feel like they're being noticed," Ms Dickson comments.
Human resources expert Donald Selvage agrees with this and adds that being told they are doing a good job "can go a long way" in motivating employees.
This week, one management expert suggested that intelligent leaders are the key to ensuring employees stay motivated.
In an article for Real Business, Jo Ouston said such bosses are critical during difficult times and urged them to focus on development opportunities, staff incentives and recognition programmes.
