So true- getting a pat on the back feels great, but nothing inspires toward productivity like knowing there are no roadblocks in your way and that you have all the tools and support you need to make progress. On that note, I think more companies should invest in providing educational tools (particularly in the technology arena) for employees. It's amazing how many employees are hindered by such small roadblocks as inability to use a basic function in Word or Excel... Great article, Joe.

As the director of a government organization where pay and benefits were totally outside of my control, I found saying "thank you" and meaning it did wonders for morale, productivity, and loyalty. The father of "TheRealBenSmith" is extremely proud! I have always been amazed at the power of “thank you”.

Published at The Harvard Business Review ( http://ow.ly/17AN9 ), Teresa M. Amabile and Steven J. Kramer recently conducted a survey of employees and employers and found most Managers believe recognition is the number one factor contributing to employees being enthusiastic about work - makes sense right? Well the survey also asked employees what makes them enthusiastic about work and you'd be surprised to learn the answer is Progress. @joesharron Alan brings up many good points with respect to retention.

Studies show that compensation is typically ranked 3rd-5th on the list of what employees seek in an employer. While compensation is a factor, as long as the comp is competitive, most employees are more concerned with the nature of the work experience and company environment. Specifically, am I being provided with the resources, tools and support to succeed in my role; will I be treated with respect and dignity; and will my contributions be recognized and valued. If your company provides that type of work environment, most employees won't be running out the door chasing a few more Benjamin Franklins. I agree with Joe Sharron’s take on this issue.
