If they've done something truly outstanding, then you should take the time to let them know. Instead of telling people that everyone is doing great, take the time to pull a specific person into your office, or to write an email or a note along with that person's check, to let him know that his work is truly outstanding.  You can also recognize the employee by posting something about the employee's work on your front bulletin board, or sending along an email highlighting the person's achievements. If the person did something truly exceptional, like sign a new and prestigious client, you can stand up and make an announcement to praise that person. Don't be afraid to follow your words up with a round of applause, as long as it feels natural. Recognizing your employees' individual efforts is important, but you should make sure that nobody feels left out if you're always recognizing the same few employees. You should take the time to let your team know that they are doing solid work as a unit, and show that you appreciate their efforts at all times. Taking just a few minutes out of your day to praise your employees for good team work can motivate them to work much harder. Here's how to do it:  Hold a meeting to discuss the company as a whole, and to show how your employees' efforts are contributing to the mission of the company. Your employees don't want to feel like cogs in a wheel, but like they're contributing to something valuable, so take the time to make them feel special. If you have facts and figures to show much your team is contributing to the company, even better. Send weekly emails, updates, or newsletters that tell your employees that their hard work is paying off. Recognize the efforts of your team and use positive adjectives to highlight their good work. If you feel that there is room for improvement, that's okay, too. Just be honest with your employees about the work that still needs to be done. Make a mental note of praising your employees more than you give them negative feedback. This will make them feel much more positive about the hard work that they do. Setting up a system of rewards is an excellent way to motivate your employees. Whether you set up a contest to see who can accomplish something the fastest on a certain day, or if you have a competition to see who can generate the most revenue by the end of the month, any contest that has a reward, even if it's silly, will keep your employees motivated to produce solid work. Here are some great rewards to offer your employees for a job well-done:  Reward them with small gifts. Give them two tickets to a movie, a gift certificate to a store, or even highly-coveted tickets to a sports game. Make sure to check in with your employees about what they think makes a good reward in advance. Your employees won't be as motivated if they aren't excited about the prize. Reward your employees with time off. You'll be surprised to see how quickly your employees start working when you offer to let them leave 15 or 30 minutes early, or if you give them the option of coming to work an hour late the next day. Reward your employees with a telecommute. The employee who does the most work can be allowed to work from home for a day. Just make sure this doesn't make it look like everyone would prefer to always be at home -- remember, your employees are supposed to be excited about coming to work. Reward your employees by doing their work for them. People love seeing their boss do their jobs, whether it's to keep the company bathroom clean or make a few calls to clients. Reward them with casual dress. Employees love dressing casually, and that employee can earn the privilege to dress casual for any given day. Reward your employees with lunch. The employee who wins the work contest can earn a free lunch from you -- an an opportunity to get to know you better.
