Sometimes a simple pat on the back and a "good job" or a "you handled that very well" or maybe "im proud of you" makes all the difference in the world to a person.
It can also make the difference in an employee walking out on you or staying. Making a person feel appreciated and that YOU see they are doing well ...well actions speak louder so they say.
I also try to end the day with "Thank you Anna, I really appreciate all you did to day" or more commonly "I dont know what I would do without you Anna, working with you is a pleasure" and I MEAN IT. Because I DONT know what I am going to do when Anna leaves the company. Think about it this way... a little sincerity goes a long way to keep you from having more work in the future.
Positive praise makes people want to do more and work harder. So you are also patting yoruself on the back.
