Forgetting to appreciate workers is 'big morale-sapper'

Date: 09/02/2010

Without incentives and recognition schemes in place, a business may be doomed to failure and high turnover, according to an expert in the world of human resources.

According to a HR executive with BPO who spoke to start-up business supporter pluggd.in, forgetting to appreciate staff is the first rule of poor management and that organisations must learn to appreciate daily procedural work, as well as outstanding contributions.

The unnamed contributor asserted: "Things that look trivial actually make a lot of difference to your company in the long run.

"Appreciate that, even if it was their daily work. This requires consistency and may not be easy but certainly keeps the employee excited all the time."

By enacting an incentives and recognition programme, a business will be able to avoid this without any real difficulties, it was implied.

It follows recommendations from the International Stress Management Association (ISMA), which said that incentives and recognition of work done by employees must be paired up with individuals taking responsibility for what they can do, as this avoids stress and overloading.
