An organization’s greatest assets are its employees. When people can see how what they do is important to the organization and they feel appreciated, they bring their best selves to work, and that’s a win for everyone – employees, employers, and customers.

Here are some things that supervisors might consider saying regularly to team members. - I’m happy you’re on my team because …
- You have great potential to …
- Let’s figure out what you’re best at doing.

- You can do it; I believe in you.
- How do you think we can improve?
- You’re awesome.
- Thank you.
