As for me I think the mistakes in praising employees is that when you over praising employees and make them doing something else to the extend they look at it that you won't do anything and doesn't take there work serious but I see no reason why they can't praise an employees because it's right and good praising employees for good work they doing or done.

I am still in support of a worker been praised frequently when they have really done what was asked of them. But I am wondering if the praising can actually be too much, even when they still deserve it just as the poster is trying analyse above. That is just my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Whenever your staffs are perfect at their jobs, it's always very important to appreciate them at least with the words of the mouth if you can't afford to give them tips. It goes a long way in making them feel valued.

A lot of literature, business and management articles or business tips, suggest always giving praise to employees who excel or at least to increase their work motivation. Giving praise to employees correctly will give positive results but if the praise is done wrongly it can be a contra indication of praise. Here are some common mistakes managers and owners make when giving praise to their employees:
1. Blaming without giving direction
2. Praise the talent, not the hard work of the employee
3. Not giving praise / rewards to employees who are performing well,
Maybe you have other ideas or opinions about common mistakes in giving praise to employees.

Praising a staff for a job well done is a good strategy to adopt for increased productivity. People who are commended for the little they do, tend to do even more. Employers should learn this.
They should avoid unnecessary reprimands that can cripple the output of their staff.

For me there is nothing wrong in praising an employer when he/she perform well it's just depends on how you praise them or relate with them

 

[Kvngsammy]

I'm very cautious when giving praise to employees anyways. Another thing that j feel is a mistake is selectively praising the workers - some employees magnify the little effort of some of their staff and downplay same or even better efforts of the rest.
That way animosity is created among the staff.

From your personal point of view, do you think there should be a limit as how you praise your employees? I have seen some managers who organize parties or team dinners as a way of praising the employees, what is your take on this?

 

[Kaffyfolla]

Appreciate your employees is never a bad idea but praising them might makes them feel too superior so it has to be balanced

 

[Shigobad20201]

Praising an employee isn't a crime or criminal. An employer should dim it fit to reference or praise an employee when there is a reason for it. But this should be done cautiously, so as not to over praise and give the worker reason to become proud or over favoured.

In my own opinion , praising employee is actually a good thing and we do that in order to Guv them positive motivation so that they can work harder next time but other staffs sees it as a bad thing,

Most business owners do not like commending staff for despite their best efforts and commitment. Praising a staff for an exceptional effort will raise the morale of the staff and will encourage the staff to do more.
