Appreciation – The Invisible Magic Wand!

Appreciation – The Invisible Magic Wand!

An organization runs on the wheel of its employees’ skills. Work process does take a toll on the lives of employees, yet they work hard & exert the best effort possible to take the organization to the next level. Sometimes people lose the focus, the nature of job fails to keep enticing for a long time. Job life becomes all about coming on time, switching on the personal computer, completing assignments, attending meetings, sipping coffee, reaching home & nothing else. In the off-time people like to talk about this not so happening life progress. Frustration starts to grasp eventually. This sad thing can be changed completely & this down feeling can be replaced by one practice – ‘appreciating’. It literally works like a magic wand. Let’s explore the boosting impacted by appreciation.

v  Makes employees rooted

One sudden call from the reporting boss & a sincere talk appreciating the work & attention given to the work can really make the employee forget about all the worry & monotony. It makes people rooted to the organization & think deeply giving the notion that work has value, authority does care about the effort given to. This feeling works for a long time.

v  Clarifies misunderstanding

After working quite a few years & not finding any visible growth in career, sometimes employees think they are not considered by the top management anymore. So a misunderstanding sets in that leads to communication gap. In this time, one mail mentioning or highlighting any remarkable job done sent to employee can clear this wrong idea that they are not being observed.

v  Raises the standard

It has been observed that one kind gesture, one honest ‘thank you’ with a heartfelt smile suddenly fills the emptiness at heart. It gives a notion that my work is valued & if I continue this way, it will be respected. The appreciation increases the quality of work. There is nothing like being recognized for sincere job done & there is nothing depressing like the job done with utmost honesty going unnoticed.

v  Fosters self-motivation

Being called on & praised for the job in a meeting not only boosts the morale but also changes the viewpoint. It brings a sense of positivity. It makes the introvert person a social being & a living wire in the office, sets out for solving others’ problems, doing things for the organization with a happy heart.

It is just a little inspiration, a pat on the back, a firm handshake, a sincere smile & being thankful that all it takes to show the hardworking employees that they are being taken care of. When in the pool of employees, one is separately recognized for showing genuine effort, it pays off. The praise turns into a source of long term intrinsic happiness that proves the joy for work.
