Employee recognition outside the organization and public show of appreciation also help. Attractive hats with the farm name and jackets with employee names worn proudly in the community send a message that employees are glad to be part of the farm team. Celebrate Successes Celebrate the farm's successes. Teams are expected to work together to accomplish the farm's goals. They should also celebrate together when the goals are accomplished.
Celebrations express the employer's appreciation.
Communicate Clearly and Often Communicate clearly and often with employees. Staff meetings, a daily break period including supervisors and employees, a message board, two-way radios, clear instructions, opportunities to ask questions, regular performance appraisals and planning together for the coming year are just a few examples of how employers can facilitate communication. An employee complaint of too much communication is rare. A complaint of not enough communication is common. Compensate Fairly Fairness of compensation matters more than level of compensation in building a positive reputation as an employer.
