Here’s another proven area to manage in your project that will improve worker engagement. One of the Q12 questions (described in last post) is “In the last seven days, have you received recognition or praise for doing good work?”
 
How many of your workers will say “No”? Sure, you might work in a matrix organization where you do not have that much control over the management of your workers but you can send out good vibrations. You can recognize them yourself for all sorts of reasons,
  • Major milestones met
  • Working together to put together an unexpected report for management
    Completion of deliverables with minimal issues afterwards
  • Intermediate deliverables submitted in nearly-completed form
  • Favorable comments from a client
  • Above average rating by executive management
Find an excuse to recognize or praise workers in your project. It will help workers become more engaged so that you can get the results you want.
