The Art of Employee Recognition: Acts of Awesomeness

Follow Dave on LinkedIn

“Employee of the Month” was a great way to inspire employees…in 1975. Now it’s something better suited to a punch line in an episode of The Office or a Dilbert cartoon.

As a small business owner, you don’t have to do things the stuffy old way. It’s time for the new hotness.

In this video, I share a method one of my clients discovered for motivating and recognizing exceptional employees. Watch this quick video to get this “awesome” tool!

Action Steps:

  1. Apply Acts of AWESOMENESS: Consistently and publicly reward exceptional employee contributions.
  2. Don’t just reward the exceptional employee, but also the individual who called attention to their great performance.
  3. Comment below to share how YOU celebrate employee recognition.

Principles:

  1. Too often we become obsessed with things that aren’t working, which can be a real employee downer.
  2. Rewarding people for finding the good encourages a positive mindset.
  3. Thanks to Travis Kindler of Kinco for sharing this great idea!
