    LOGO Downsides of verbal praise
    Praise is best given for specific reasons. It’s an fairly easy and
    motivational tool but if overusing, it can:
    • Make it meaningless to employees (empty gesture)
    • Make employees left their guard down
    • Be insulting (praise for trivial or basic things)
    • Be annoying (used as a way to avoid dealing with problems).
    For example: praising someone for ignoring a bullying co-worker
    rather than dealing with the bullying.
    • Money talks
    LOGO Steps to motivate employees

    in job performance each employee

    Acknowledging employees' work and how it has contributed
    to company goals  great way to motivate

    flexible work hours, money…)
