To maximize its motivational impact, recognition should be linked to corporate values and personal goals. Recognition and praise are no-cost or low-cost motivators that are powerful. (DuBrin, 2010)
2. Assigning more responsibility to prove employee’s value - It is important to make sure that all team members are working at the edge of their abilities, not beyond their skill set, but enough to keep them engaged and challenged.

1. Verbal and written praise hold a lot of power in a group situation. Abraham Maslow demonstrated, with his Hierarchy of Needs, that employees need recognition from their superiors on a successful job done.
