What are special things being done to let employees know they are doing a good job? What are ways to cheer on progress that is going on in the company and make employees feel important and appreciated?

Jay’s Answer:

• Show them the big measurable goal.
• Tell them what happens when you meet that goal.
• Show them how their work affects that goal.
• Regularly update how close you are to that goal (and use a trend line to show last week’s effort, etc.).
• Allow your staff latitude to creatively (so long as it doesn’t violate any company guidelines/ethics) get your company closer to the goal (flextime, different procedures, etc.)
