Common Mistakes in Praising Employees

[Abigael]

Praising and appreciating employees is a very good thing. But it should be done in the right way such that you don't make them too reluctant to work. For example, when an employee does well, you should not reduce their work load and make them relax. You should congratulate them and motivate them to do more of the good work.

 

[Onachukwu]

Never make it seem as if praise is just another item on your to-do list. When you give praise, it needs to be genuine and heartfelt, or it won't have an impact. That means you can't say the same thing every time. Show that you're truly paying attention and you are happy with the employee's work

 

[Hamza1999]

Praise nurtures your child's confidence and sense of self. By using praise, you're showing your child how to think and talk positively about themselves. You're helping your child learn how to recognise when they do well and feel proud of themselves. You can praise children of different ages for different things.Being praised makes the recipient feel good about themselves and this can help to boost their performance. Praise provides the kind of positive experience or 'uplift' that can increase employees' morale, motivation and engagement, and renew their commitment to their manager and the organisation.

I believe that having cordial relationship with employees will help to improve and develop your business.
if a person wrongly blamed his employees, they will not work hard from their heart for the progress of the company.
So always be kind generous and helping with your employees for the betterment of your business.

One common mistake employers make while praising an employee is when you do it in such a way that demoralizes other employees. Make sure you motivate others too while praising one (or some), no one wants to be a loser so don't make them feel like one while heaping all the praises on one of them.

 

[Olahab]

You’re a nice person and while you know you need to correct your employees mistakes and offer them advice to improve in their work you also don’t want to make them feel bad. Your natural response to these conflicting desires is probably to mix feedback with praise. Bad idea.
On her The Brain Lady blog, psychologist Susan Weinschenk explains what the research says about this techn

The common mistake in praising employees is the mistake of over praising in the sense that there are some employees that doesn't deserve praise but because of their performance they are always praised and may lead to inactivity.

 

[IamDozzy]

When an employee truly deserves praise he/she should be given the desired praise and acknowledgement for a job well done. Praise should not be hoarded rather it should be given freely to those who really deserve it. The praise or acknowledgement can come in different forms, it could be in form of monetary rewards or promotion.

One mistake I'm sure employers make is surely always praising a particulate employee in the presence of other employees which may attract envy or jealousy on the part of the other employees. Managers must be careful when praising employees as the wring approach might tear the company apart

 

[Donkiz]

It is good to always appreciate your employees when the perform well, this serves as motivation to both the praised staff and others. We cannot go wrong in trying to praise people for doing a good job, infact it's even advisable to try and go beyond mere praising, to adding incentives to it.

 

[Adetayo100]

It is not good to over praise an employee for a good job well done that does not mean you wouldn't recognize his or her work. You just have to be moderate about it and you can do it when other employees are not around.

To me praising an employee is not a big deal. The more you praise them ,the better they become and put in more effort for the success and progress of the business organization. But, when you don't praise them the zeal to do more will not be there.

If your employee did well, if he did extra smart job that really promote your business and he or she deserves praise, praise the employee, if it serves bonus, give bonus, I agree with your trend that praise should not be done unnecessary.
