Common Mistakes in Praising Employees

[Adventurer]

I wouldn't say that their common mistakes made while praising a staff, reasons when staff truly deserve you praises may be due to the level of activeness I guess he or she deserves your appraisal because it is a due benevolence required of you as a business owner or manager of the units to do so.

Exactly, infact failure to praise staff when necessary may lead to the staff feeling unappreciated and demoralized which results into their non performance

You should see to it from time to time that you give your employees that are deserving of your praises and encomiums the praises. Bit don't in moderation to not bring jealousy from others

When I was a supervisor I was taught about a "Praise sandwich". If you need to criticise them for something they are not doing properly you should begin with praising them for something they are doing well, then add the criticism to show them what you are not happy with, and then end it with more praise about something else. Employees will respond more positively to this approach.

Excellent "praise sandwich" saying, and I loved the explanation of how it unfolds. I had not evaluated this possibility to direct an employee to improve in the quality of their functions. I will take it into account in the next evaluations I have to do.

i personally believe that massive praising will literally spoil them and ruin the professional relationship between the boss and his employees, there shouldn't be too much and not too few

Praising your employees is not a bad idea. Praising your employees encourages them to do more or put more efforts in their work. I do not think there is a bad way to praise them. Praising workers is about motivation to lift their spirit to work, it might be inform of incentives or verbal encouragement.

To contribute, managers should also limit appraising an employee ocassionally in front of other employees as this might lead to jealousy and rivalry so it's better to do a secret appraisal sometimes.

Yes! Encouraging hard working staff has a way of spurring them to do more for the company, it can even challenge others to put it their best to the work.
Sometimes, awards or incentives can be given to such staff, whether openly or secretly to encourage them.
In organizations that uses the promotion from one level to another can promote such staff.

That's true. Some employees even go to the extent of quitting their jobs since the employer doesn't seem to appreciate them always.

There is really nothing wrong in praising employees and commending their capacities. It encourages them to work harder for the company's progress.
