Tell what your expectations are If the job is not described to an employee properly and high expectations are made from him, chances are there that the employee will soon become a victim of job insecurity. A constant fear that he is not fulfilling the company's expectations and can be terminated at any point of time will haunt his mind. So, clearly defining your expectations and creating a fair method of evaluating these expectations are very crucial. Give a pat on their back Appreciation always leads to better productivity and productivity reflects the morale of the employees. Too often managers miss the opportunity to recognize their employees for the work that they do and the contributions they make to the company. Unintentionally, managers assume that the paycheck received by their employees is recognition enough, which is not usually the case. They should appreciate the employees when they deserve and make them feel wanted.
