11/17/2007 | Give them a pat on the back and tell them that they are doing good work, and you get a lot more out of employees.

11/10/2007 | I don't think there is anything wrong with people getting special
recognition for the good job they are doing once in awhile. After
all, we all need incentive once in awhile, but one has to be very
careful giving this kind of recognition in front of other employees, as
I have seen the claws come out and jealousies do arise, and then that
employee is all of a sudden called a brown noser, all because they
wanted to take pride in their work.

06/12/2006 | Everyone likes a bit of praise for their hard work,but if there's no other rewards,it can ring pretty hollow.

07/23/2005 | Yes, as long as it's totally honest. If a boss is totally honest, with your good work AND your bad, it's very motivating. Quite often the person doesn't realize the bad stuff is happening, and if brought to attention will also make the worker think twice. If a boss praises only it is not motivating.

07/12/2005 | Praise is very key in motivating an employee however, it can't be fake. I work at safeway and they will tell you what you want to hear and it's sicking. I like to be left alone to do my job. I am a self motivated person, I believe in good work ethic,therefore I give one-hundred and fifty percent on my job. Sometimes it gives me a jump start when someone notices the good job I'm doing and praises me for it.

12/04/2004 | I like this concept. But I also like (even more) the idea of being left alone on my job and also being left alone to do my job.

09/24/2004 | Everybody needs some praise, otherwise in time they are less motivated to do a good job if no one is letting them know that they are doing a good job. But over-praising causes problems because nobody's perfect.

09/24/2004 | You have to make your employees feel appreciated. A content workforce is a productive workforce; they'll put in more effort into their job.

08/14/2004 | Any good manager will tell you that it is absolutely imperative you commend people individually and make sure they feel appreciated.

08/12/2004 | So long as it is not laid on thick and it not a bunch of B.S. a little can go along way to make an employee feel better about the job and the organization.

07/21/2004 | Underrated. . .but it is a little high-schoolish. Pay my ass, don't pat me on the head and give me psycho-babble about how much I give to the company.

07/18/2004 | Usually sounds insincere. If it were genuine, then it'd be a great motivator.

07/17/2004 | I appreciate it from time to time but only if it's genuine. Most people, including myself, can tell when it's just so much smoke up the wazoo - which, of course, renders it meaningless while lowering your opinion of whoever said it. If you dont get some kind of feedback once in awhile, you can begin to feel as though youre in a vacuum.

07/07/2004 | Individual praise is normally the best way to motivate someone, employee or otherwise. It shows that your boss actually cares about your work for the company. I like to be praised, that's for sure; but if you compliment someone, make sure you actually mean it, otherwise it becomes a waste of breath.

07/07/2004 | Costs nothing to do, but can work wonders. If you doubt praise is a motivator, look at how many ranking lists we now have of RateItAll Reviewers, which always create heavy traffic. How many of us have scraped our knees to inspire a little love (and helpful clicks) out of others? I know I've gone through my share of bandages, and see generous praise as a virtue -- as long as you genuinely mean it.

07/07/2004 | The best kind of motivation. Honest, heartfelt--and it shows that you are making a difference, because the superior is taking time out from their job/life to tell you how good you are doing.
