Many members of management don’t give enough or sometimes don’t give any recognition. In addition, applause from time to time would be nice for specific achievements. The applause could take place at a meeting, luncheon, or even in the office. To back up applause, employees could be presented with a plaque or certificate that states the specified accomplishment. By doing so, the employee will feel valued and will continue to put forth an effort. Moreover, on the spot praise is in my opinion the most effective way when recognizing excellent work. This works best smaller accomplishments that could be forgotten prior to the
