A 'Lovely' Question indeed! Thank you so much Sir Heavenly J John for putting forth another interesting question for discussion. So, let me give it a shot.

It doesn’t matter whether your office is a boardroom, classroom, or laundry room; there are people who do things for you every day. Employees and colleagues are expected to do their part. If you want your employees to be happy and productive, you need to give them recognition for a job well done and let them know their work is appreciated and important.

Following is a list of simple ways to thank your employees:

1. A Thank You Note: Saying thanks about something specific may be the ultimate reward. If you do it selectively yet authentically, a thank you note may be pinned above your employee’s desk for years.

2. Arrange a Pizza Party.

3. Swap desks with your employee for a day, as a reward.

4. Standing Ovation: Get all your employees together in the same room. Then invite in the employee you're recognizing and give him or her a standing ovation.

5. Breakfast from the Boss: Bring in a catered breakfast for your team, and designate yourself as the main waiter, serving all your wonderful employees.

6. Flip Flop Day: Casual Friday has turned into casual every day. Change things up by allowing flip flops as a fun way of recognizing success.

7. Day Off Pass: An extra day off from work always helps, and is even better when employees can pick the day and get paid to boost their morale.

8. Arrange a fun Tour.

9. Presidential Seal: Create a formal letter recognizing your employee’s achievement. Sign it and use the company’s seal to give the letter something extra. If you really want to do it right, frame it too.

. Let Them Eat Cake. Any celebration is a real fun when there's yummy cake. 

Host a potluck lunch: Sharing a meal together allows people to bond and relax in a casual setting and it provides an excellent opportunity for you to say a few words of thanks to the team and let them know you appreciate them.

. Leave a “thank you” voice mail message.

. Let them leave work early:  This may not be feasible in all work environments, but if you’re able to do it, a surprise treat of allowing people to leave early does wonders for team morale and well-being.

. The Morphing Trophy: This is real fun, laughter and recognition. Get a big trophy and give it to the employee you are recognizing for the week. At the end of the week, they must return the trophy but they need to add one thing to it. (You would be shocked how many things can stick to a trophy.) Then next week give it to the next winner. At the end of the year, you'll have a trophy with things stuck to it. It looks hysterical and has lots of memories. At the end of the year, retire the trophy and put it in your reception area. Do it every year.

. Wall of Fame: Create a wall of fame for each recognized employee. Be sure to write below their picture what they did that you're recognizing them for.

. Helmet Stickers: Get a football helmet from each employee’s alma mater and put it on their desk. Every time they do something great, give them a helmet sticker ... just like the college sports teams.

. Company Scrapbook: Create a scrapbook as your company grows over time. Each month start off a scrapbook page with the employee you're recognizing. Their names will be part of history, literally.

It is important to keep consistency with our approach to employee recognition, or else it could appear to be favouritism. A fair and transparent recognition scheme is worthwhile as a more formal approach, depending on the size of the organization.

 

It never hurts to acknowledge good work and responsiveness with a thank you or a job well done note.

 

 

Agree with Mis Farhana answer. These steps make courage to your employees as well as they do more efforts happily.

Nock the Soul with smile and gratitude.

I can do a step-by-step guide here.

1) Walk towards the employee when they are not too busy.

2) Attract their attention by saying something like, "Hallo, [name]"

3) Smile, and say, "I would like to thank you for the work you did on Project XYZ.  Speaking on behalf of the company, we really appreciate it.  You did a good job, and we're grateful.  Thank you."
