HR: What is the Cheapest Motivator on the Planet?
July 21, 2008
Billions are spent each year with perks and whistles trying to motive employees and networking friends, but what everyone fails to understand is the best music to everyone’s ears is the sound of their own name. Simply by calling someone by their name makes you sincere and caring.
It shows that you care enough to: 1) remember their name and 2) to use it! That is the reason I always wear my name tag. I have a very difficult time remembering names and when people see my name tag they usually respond by saying, “Hi, Betty. I’m Suzie.” A blessing in disguise for me — now I know her name is Suzie. What did you say your name was?
