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. I think what you posted made a great deal of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to write a killer headline? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a headline that grabbed people’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little boring. You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create post headlines to grab people to click. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get people excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.

  2. I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours these days, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web will likely be much more helpful than ever before.

  3. Hello my family member! I want to say that this post is awesome, nice written and include almost all important infos.
    I would like to see extra posts like this .

  4. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  5. Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
