Was sind einige effektive Möglichkeiten, Teammitglieder für ihre Arbeit anzuerkennen und zu belohnen?

In my experience, an effective way of having a culture of praise/recognition is to embed it into standard team meetings. Allocate time to highlight the great contribution of team members with specific examples. Can come in the form of successes and appreciation or to promote a learning culture, would also add failures or for those afraid of the word, opportunities to improve. Too many organizations jump from thing to thing without a moment to pause to take stock of accomplishments and ways to improve. To avoid a popularity contest loop, make the recognition specific to the team member's accomplishments and how it moves the overall organization's goals.

As a foul-mouthed individual, I often (unknowingly) don't always use the right words. That's why I love ChatGPT. I tell it the feedback or praise I want to convey, and it gives something appropriate so that the core message is not undercut by the flavor of words I use.

Knowing your team members love language is a plus. Some would love a vacation package to spend quality time with loved ones, some would love words of affirmation, an act of service, a handshake or hug or a gift. Know your team.

Individual recognition can include personalized notes of appreciation, bonuses, or promotions based on outstanding performance, like when a team member's innovative market entry strategy significantly contributed to business growth. Additionally, creating a culture of recognition through regular praise and public acknowledgment during team meetings fosters motivation and a sense of belonging among team members.

Being specific and timely appreciating is critical. Every act that gets recognized must be done in a way that’s customized to that individual and the act per se. Plus if recognition are not done timely- they lose impact and relevance. So as leaders- it is a must to ensure we do not cut copy paste - effort must be taken to ensure appreciation is given and attributed personally and in a timely manner to create a double wow for the team. Never shy away from appreciating work that created impact

It is critical for teams to feel the belonging, the importance and have a point of view on how, when and what is being recognized. If it is co- created as one team with everyone participating, it allows for collective ownership rather it being a top down approach.

Whenever recognition and reward comes up, money seems to become a taboo. While all of the aforementioned ways are appreciated, it’s important that we do not shy away from openly discussing monetary remuneration at work.
