Cash 💵 > Pizza Parties 🍕
Make sure to celebrate the little things. Especially wins that nobody would know about.
Pay for their lunch 😌
Although a pizza or any free lunch could be seen as a easy was out to hear" WE never get a pizza fir all the work we do" is definitely not good.
Authenticity is a buzz word that should be taken more seriously. Most everyone can spot B.S. or insincerity. Being recognized for ones work is critical yet seems to take a back seat to reprimand and punishments to motivate employees to tow the line while the ones doing good or even great work are largely ignored.
To feel underappreciated is not a condition that many tolerate for long in any relationship. Assuming your not the one to sign the paychecks ($ is always a good motivational tool I'm the workplace enviromment) try simply asking the team. If the coach doesn't know, he should and anyway of getting the answer to questions is to ask the people that already know the answer.
Learned that in grade school.
I hate to disagree with others, but people are tired of pizza and food covering up for lack of leadership ability. your job is to provide purpose, direction amd motivation. When you are all crushing it together than they can buy their own food. Empowering them means giving them trust to execute the job and maybe make a fewistakes alomg the way. When mistakes happen this is an opportunity to show who you are as a leader. Are you looking at the minutia of the error or considering a small error in the grand scheme of the organization? Chances are the mistakes dont matter much and what we call mistakes are actually our preferences. So eductate and never criticize. People want a sense of purpose especially young people. Let them know how their portion of contribution affect the organization as a whole. Be better than them, not by putting them down, but by being more disciplined, working harder, learning more. No one respects or is encouraged by a stagnant leader.
This is great feedback.
To add: recognition without accountability breeds entitlement. Don’t recognize without hitting milestones!
I suggest you speak to your Comms people about tips to improve comms and engagement in the team. Encouraging multi-directional comms, lifting recognition, and creating a link between org strategy and people’s contributions can go a long way.
I'm a big fan of funny memes in group chats. On going group chats about thing not related to work. And bonuses obviously 😁
