Here’s How to Make Your Employees Feel Valued at Work

We've all had that job where we’re just another face in the crowd, performing tasks that feel monotonous and disconnected from any meaningful impact.

You know, the kind of job where you feel like a cog in a machine, simply going through the motions to get the bills paid, without any drive or passion behind it.

When we find ourselves in such roles, our natural inclination is to look for the nearest exit.

This lack of passion and engagement in people’s work leads to a high employee turnover rate.


Only 15% of the world’s employees are engaged in their work worldwide, and such limited employee engagement leads to high turnover rates.


No manager wants their team to feel uninterested and detached from their work, but many struggle to understand what they can do to turn the story around.

Yet, the answer is quite simple. The best way for managers to ignite passion in their team members is to show them how their work impacts the organization.

When team members understand their work’s impact, they become more involved with their projects because they want to do their best for their team and organization.

‍You need to create a team recognition system to show your team members the importance of their contribution.

Throughout this article, I discuss three strategies you can use to improve your employee recognition system and help your team understand the lasting impact on your organization.


✅ Start by providing increased employee recognition. 


✅ Next, help employees understand the more profound sense of purpose in their work by: 

👉 Helping them foster an emotional attachment to their work 

👉 Showing them how their work contributes to the goals of the organization
