Many people naturally strive for recognition, while others do not wish for the attention. No matter their preference, recognition of employees is an important facet of any company, but especially at your dealership.

Praising employees for good work is a great way to instill motivation and encouragement into the workplace. For example, providing an exceptional employee with a reward after a month of hard work can increase the idea of friendly competition, while showing your employees that they are valued. The list below highlights just a few ways you can show your employees some hard-earned gratitude:

  • Provide monthly awards that are internally publicized throughout your dealership, like posting on social media.
  • Launch a competitive “game” of sorts. Salespeople may work harder and more consistently if there is a prize at the end of the month.
  • Every few team meetings, go around the room and ask people to note someone who is “crushing” their job that particular week. This will create a strong, cohesive team and encourage your employees to outwardly work hard.
  • Celebrate! Everyone wants an excuse to throw (or attend!) a party. At the end of each quarter, have your dealership host a get-together (preferably during the lunch hour) and recognize the employee/employees who have had an exceptional quarter.
  • Make a big deal about an employee’s anniversary of service at your dealership. No matter their position, provide some type of recognition to those employees and make sure everyone knows about it!
  • Shout outs are probably more powerful than a monetary gift. Giving your employees personal appreciation and company-wide meetings is a great idea. Consider this option to highlight high-performing employees!

Overall, recognizing employees for exemplary work is a great way to show them that they are genuinely valued. Many people will begin to step up their workdays in order to try and achieve this recognition, ultimately increasing your profits and benefitting your dealership. Want to learn more about what we do?
