Small initiatives like “Employee of the month”, “Star of the week”, “Best Performer” not only motivate employees to deliver their level best but also encourage them to behave well at the workplace. Trust them, give them additional responsibilities and let them take some decisions on their own. Be logical. Do not expect them to attend office on their birthdays.
Encourage them to wind up work on time, call it a day and spend quality time with friends and family. Try to know them on a personal level as well. Make them feel comfortable at workplace if you really expect them to stick around for a long time. Afterall, one spends the maximum part of his/her day at workplace.
Employees tend to steal whenever they are under any financial crisis. Make sure they get their salaries on time. Individuals should have the liberty to walk up to their manager’s cabin in case of queries.
Monitor their performance and give them correct feedbacks. Do not ignore their problems. Let them feel important and indispensable resources for the organization.
