‘’When people are appreciated by the boss, they will appreciate the boss more as well.’’ – Aoife O’Brien.
Welcome back to Happier at Work. To continue the unhappiness at work theme, this week’s solo episode focuses on employee recognition: the key to a happy workplace. Recognising your staff comes with many benefits; it drives development, builds trust and boosts employee job satisfaction, to name but a few.
As businesses across the globe continue to navigate their way through the great resignation, Aoife discusses how recognising staff and effectively providing employee feedback can help retain talent and build a happy workplace. Aoife also reminds us that people tend to leave bosses more so than organisations, reveals the impact of a lack of recognition at work, and offers effective feedback strategies that you can implement straight away. The main points throughout the episode include:
- Communicating effectively with employees.
- The impact of lack of recognition at work.
- Building trust in the workplace.
- Mastering impactful employee recognition.
- Aoife’s experience of delivering feedback on performance.
- How to demonstrate employee appreciation.
- Don’t forget to celebrate the small wins too!
- Creating a suitable space for providing constructive feedback.
- The importance of understanding your team.
- Challenge time: who can you recognise today?
