With the great resignation making retention a particular problem, acknowledgement has taken on a new urgency. Here's how to acknowledge (and activate) your people in the new world of work.
Unfortunately, acknowledging your people and demonstrating your appreciation seem daunting now that we are in the new world of work—the distributed environment where only a few or maybe even zero of your people are collocated with you. Being able to pop your head in someone’s office to say, “I appreciate your ever-positive attitude. It really makes our meetings more productive,” is often impossible.
Yet that kind of acknowledgement is more important than ever as “remote” has become ubiquitous. Despite the perceived hurdles, the solution isn’t as difficult as you might think. Afound that 53.9% of respondents claimed a simple “thank you” could ease the pressure around performance while working remotely.
Here are a few simple habits to develop to ensure that you’re exuding appreciation—and sparking joy—for those around you, no matter which time zone they’re in:One of the most impactful things you can do for your staff is also one of the easiest: listen. Stop multitasking, look directly at the person , and genuinely listen to them. Show them that you are giving them your undivided attention and make an effort to discern what’s not being said as well.
These days, it’s easy to feel like an anonymous pile of pixels at work. But your team is composed of people, not pixels. Focus on acknowledging each other’s attributes, accomplishments, unique contributions, and value, and your team will start to feel human again.
