The Power of Recognizing People

The people you work with want to be recognized for their contributions.

The volunteers on your team want to know that they are making a difference.

They probably won't come out and ask for it, but everyone wants to be recognized.

When you recognize people it helps them feel appreciated and motivated.

When you take the lead on this, you can help create a culture of appreciation and gratitude.

Here are some examples of how you can recognize the people you do ministry with.

Say "thank you." It sounds simple, but what an impact it has. Take time each week to walk around and say "thank you for serving and making a difference" to the people you serve with.

Write a personal appreciation note and put a gift card with it to Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, etc.
