Reward and Recognition

I went back to work today as I haven't been for about a week and a half due to exams (which I have finished!!!) and upon getting back to work was given two movie tickets! I was given this as my team leader had received feedback from at least two users I had responded to after fixing their problem. It was a pleasant surprise and although I didn't think I did anything special - just doing my job - I was not going to say no.

I previously posted about an email reply I received from a guy and talked about encouragement at work and he was one of the guys who sent the big email back as well as another person who sent one in. It is a challenge to encourage others to do their best in their job as we don't recognise the hard work and dedication a lot of people put into their work/job, etc.

Who can you encourage by giving reward or recognition to, today?


Ephesians 4:29

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

Encouragement at work

Today at work I was going through the jobs that come through email and was fixing the issues up. I was getting through them and one had come in which I had a look at which was only a minute or two old. I fixed the issue and emailed them back saying that it should be right. Their reply below was cool, an encouragement....

If someone does something good, that impresses you, please tell them to encourage them as we don't do it often enough but are much quicker to let someone know when they have done something wrong. Just think who you could encourage each day...
