Twelve Ways to Invest in Your Staff

Taking the time to invest in those that work and volunteer for you is crucial. There are probably hundreds of ways to invest in people. Here are twelve easy ideas you can use:

  • Appreciate them for who they are, not just what they do.
  • Celebrate and honor their accomplishments.  Even the small things.
  • Encourage them regularly.
  • Model the values you expect them to exhibit.
  • Repeat the mission of the organization often so they know it well.
  • Develop a relationship with them and know about their life outside work.
  • Help them identify and develop their strengths.
  • Train and equip them for the current job while also helping them grow into larger more challenging roles.
  • Address issues and shortcomings with them as they happen.  Don’t ignore needed areas of growth.
  • Ask for, listen to, and value their opinion.
  • Empower them to do their job and release them to do it.
  • Pray for them.

How else do you encourage those that work and volunteer for you?

  1. Heya! I understand this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask. Does building a well-established blog such as yours require a lot of work? I am brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal daily. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

Anyways, awesome blog!

  7. Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

  8. Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!

  9. Howdy! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask. Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work?

  10. I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  11. Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

  14. This design is spectacular! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  15. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  16. You really make it seem really easy along with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually something which I believe I’d never understand. It seems too complex and very huge for me. I’m taking a look forward on your subsequent submit, I’ll try to get the hold of it!

  18. I do believe all the ideas you’ve introduced in your post. They are very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. May just you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
