[font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif]How to give praise to your remote workers[/font]
[font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif]Showing that you appreciate your employees when they are remote workers is something that is easily forgotten. It is not like you can go to their cubicle and say “good job”. However, it is even more important because it is part of regular ongoing feedback that you should be providing all of your employees.[/font]
[font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif]People love being asked how they did something, so nothing is better than telling someone that what they did was great and asking them how they did it.[/font]
[font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif]What also works is telling people that they have made a difference. Even if they have accomplished something small, by making a suggestion it will be acknowledged. Once people feel like they are making a difference they can feel more engaged with the job and company, and this will encourage people to keep trying.[/font]

So, one of the best things you can say to your employee, as long as you mean it, is “don’t think about work on your vacation”. Make sure you have a process in place so that people do not have to check in when they are on vacation, and the workplace won’t fall apart. If you can do this your remote employees will think of you as the best manager in the world.[/font]
