How Can I Increase Employee Productivity?

* From  Date: Tuesday, February 20 2007

One of the simplest and least costly methods of motivating employees is to show them recognition for a job well done.

This can range from a pat on the back to an Employee of the Month Award to a token gift. Small gestures that recognize the positive accomplishments of an individual can

often go a long way. It increases employees' sense of self-esteem and they feel better about their job.

The result? Increased productivity.
