Today we are talking about tip #4 of the 4 tips to motivate behavior change in your team, which is to Highlight Your Team’s Accomplishments.
If an employee does something great and it doesn’t get recognized, why would they continue to work harder? The simple act of acknowledging the work that your employees do, especially when they go above and beyond, is a great way to motivate even more behavior change.
Highlighting your team’s accomplishments also creates a positive feedback loop. When you recognize your employee or employees going above and beyond, they’re more likely to continue to perform at a higher level if that praise is reinforcing.
Having an actual program for recognizing your employees’ achievements is a great way to retain talent. When you create a system for what happens when an employee or team member reaches their goals, they have a clear vision of what needs to be done for that to happen. Maybe it’s a bonus, or an extra vacation day, or whatever it is that motivates that particular employee. Either way, if you make both expectations and rewards clear, there is a higher chance you can motivate positive behavior change.
Motivating behavior change is a bigger part of being a great leader than you may think. It’s tough to build a business alone, and having a team whose strengths complement yours is invaluable. Maybe you have no idea how to motivate your team. The solution? Just ask. Get to know your team on a personal level. You can even ask them directly what motivates them. Once you understand what makes each person tick, provide coaching, and feedback, and then give them space to take steps towards their clearly defined goals. Changing behavior isn’t something that can be forced—but by following these four tips, you can create greater motivation around behavior change for your team and grow your business.
