Companies don’t need to shell out valuable stocks to keep their employees happy. All it takes is a little appreciation of their talent and hard work — something that appears hard to come by according to new research.
“It’s very important to document small and big wins as it would be impossible to recall every detail of performers when an opportunity arises,” says Devi Meenakshi, a senior HR professional and former country manager of HR at AT&T India Pvt. Ltd. So, is there a way to pitch about yourself without making it look like a brag? Sure.
According to experts, employees need to use anecdotes to show how they are shining, get their co-workers to say something nice about their work while returning the favour, use words like ‘happy’, ‘surprised’, ‘grateful’, and ‘lucky’ to show gratitude and not complain about their success. Sounds legit.
