“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary”- (Margaret Cousins). This age-long quote shows just what positive effect appreciation can have on people, employees in an establishment especially. A person who is appreciated will always do more than what is expected.

Undoubtedly, the staff in your school have contributed immensely towards the growth and development of your establishment. The most important part of any organization for enduring success is the people within the setup. Even if money is splashed on infrastructures and other things but the employees are not putting in their best, it is only a matter of time before such an organization crumbles.

If you are to get the best from your staff, then they must feel motivated. While good pay can be very essential towards motivation, it most times goes more than that. More important than money sometimes is a feeling of being appreciated. Any human on earth can do with a sincere ‘Thank you and ‘Weldone’ at least once in a while. It takes nothing away from you but instead does enormous magic for your employees.

So, ask yourself; “When last did I tell my staff how much I appreciate their contributions to this establishment?” “When last did I tell them a resounding Thank you and we love you?” If it has been a long time ago or you possibly haven’t done it before, then it is time you give it a shot. It is not an option, it is a necessity, if only you want to see them do more and see your school grow in leaps and bounds.
