It can be as simple as personal acknowledgment to someone for a job well done. Recognition Let members know they have done a good job. The ability to give credit is a contributing factor in the motivation of members in organizations. Rewards Provide rewards such as lunch or coffee at The Barge. Plan annual recognition banquets or dinners.
Interests Give responsibilities according to personal interests.
Empowerment fosters feelings of confidence and also provides opportunities for self-growth. Involvement Get members involved into what is happening. Members need to share in planning an organization's goals, have responsibilities that challenge, see progress of goals, and be kept informed. Getting members involved in the organization strengthens their sense of ownership of the group. Members feel satisfied when they see progress is being made toward the goals the organization has set and that they are making progress toward their own personal goals.
