참 잘했어요


참 잘했어요!

일을 잘한 직원을 칭찬할 때 쓰는 표현으로 Compliment or Congratulation 같은 의미의 단어입니다. 칭찬은 고래도 춤추게 한다고 했던가요. 부하직원중에 특히 특별히 어렵고 힘든 프로젝트를  수행해 좋은 성과를 이루었다면  칭찬을 해서 다른 직원에게 알려  필요가 있는데요. 이러것을 Employee Recognition이라고이라고 합니다. 한마디로 알아봐 주는 거지요. 

 

회사마다 차이가 일을 잘한 직원에 대한 보상이  다르겠지만 경제적 보상이전에 단체 이메일이나 회사 보드에 일을 잘한 직원을 칭찬하는 글을 써서 올립니다. 글을 쓰는것은 큰일은 아니지만 받는 당사자는 일의 보람도 느끼고 내가 직장상사에서 인정받고 있구나하고 생각이 들어  자신감과 의욕이 생기고 이런 기운이   조직에서 아주 Positive 기운을 불러온답니다.칭찬에 인색하지 마시고 오늘 당장 Kudos 한번 날려보세요.
