1. Motivate Employees

2. Whenever you get a chance to praise an employee, make it public. A simple post-it slip or a print- out…. Let others see it.

3. Call an employee just to say ‘thank you; without discussing any other matter.

4. Send a card to the employee's spouse or family thanking them for their support.

5. Pass on helpful articles that could benefit employees and attach a note that says, "Saw this and thought of you."

6. Join in and help an employee who is under pressure. Ask what can be done and help complete the task side-by-side.

7. Have a picture taken of your entire staff (including you!), have it enlarged and hang it in a visible spot. Most people like to physically see themselves as part of a team.

8. If you see that an employee has some innovative thoughts or creative approach, arrange a meeting with your senior. This helps in establishing your credibility too.

9. Keep a note of dates (family members’ birthdays, anniversries) that are significant to your team members. Surprise them by asking them to leave a little early that day…

10. Let a high performer manage the team for a day. This shall bring in new ideas in the team and shall let people feel that they are contributing in a special way.

11. Create light-hearted awards that recognize something unique about each person like, ‘Best Screen-Saver’ or ‘Best Joke Teller’ and present them at a potluck lunch.
