When employees feel valued they are more motivated. Acknowledge the hard work that your team members bring to the table. Recommend achievable goals and welcome employee feedback.Celebrate small wins to create a positive environment.

Having been in leadership positions where team members felt undervalued, I know how crucial it is to make sure their contributions are genuinely recognized. I’ve learned that it starts with regular check-ins, not just about work progress but about how they feel regarding their role. I make it a point to acknowledge their efforts both privately and publicly, whether in team meetings or through a simple message. Highlighting specific achievements and showing how their work directly impacts the team’s success has been key in making them feel appreciated. I've found that giving credit where it's due, and ensuring their voice is heard in decision-making, goes a long way in building their confidence and ensuring they feel valued.
