While some people show visible signs on their faces or in their body language that reveal they are getting discouraged or nearing burnout, many people are harder to read. They may not say much or have non-demonstrative facial expressions. Additionally, some of us are not especially talented at picking up subtle clues sent out by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some clues that you can watch for to help you know when your coworkers may need a message of appreciation or encouragement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Irritability and Resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When team members are chronically irritable, something is usually wrong. Irritability sometimes indicates they are upset or angry about something &#8212; it could be work related or from something going on in their personal life. (Or, they may not feel well physically.) But the problem is more intense when resistance is also present\u2014for example, resistance to instruction and new procedures, or resistance to change. Often workers become irritable and resistant when they don\u2019t feel valued by others for their efforts and contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discouragement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discouragement literally means lack of courage. Sometimes people lose heart over time. They give their best effort but keep encountering obstacles and then they begin to wonder why they should keep trying. When you hear people make statements like, \u201cWhy try? It won\u2019t matter,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m ready to give up and just call it quits,\u201d you should know that a sense of discouragement has settled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Increased Absenteeism or Tardiness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people send indirect messages when they are unhappy. Not showing up regularly for work or consistently arriving late is one way to indirectly say, \u201cI don\u2019t want to be here.\u201d A lack of feeling like they matter to those around them can be the foundation for these behaviors. While the behaviors need to be addressed directly by the individual\u2019s supervisor, communicating their importance to the organization can also be impactful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cynicism and Sarcasm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We frequently hear managers report concerns about how cynical their staff has become. Sarcastic remarks related to change in policies and procedures can become common place. Cynicism and sarcasm are ways people subtly communicate anger and a lack of trust. Usually, they are accompanied by a condescending attitude. A commitment to communicating authentic appreciation can begin to turn around people\u2019s negative attitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Apathy and Passivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People become passive when they believe their actions don\u2019t matter and whatever they try won\u2019t make a difference. Apathy is a common motivator behind passivity. Workers begin to put forth less effort when they believe their supervisor or colleagues don\u2019t value what they do. When you observe increased passivity among your team members, take note, because poorer work performance is not far behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social Withdrawal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A clear warning sign of a colleague not feeling like they are valued and part of the team is when they begin to withdraw socially. Co-workers who become less communicative decline offers to go out for lunch or after work, and aren\u2019t as involved or engaged with their colleagues in the office as they used to be are often separating themselves from the rest of the team. They may withdraw because they feel no one cares about them. These individuals clearly need to be encouraged and have others reach out to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Negative Work Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, when the overall work environment is characterized by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appreciationatwork.com\/videos\/why-is-there-so-much-negativity-in-the-workplace\/\">negative communication<\/a> styles, then encouragement and appreciation are in dire need by all. Positive comments between colleagues can, over time, decrease cutting remarks, intense negative reactions and overly critical feedback among team members, but a sustained, concerted effort is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you pay attention, your colleagues are often sending clear signals that they need to feel valued by those with whom they work. Utilizing the various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appreciationatwork.com\/\">languages of appreciation<\/a>, and specific action steps they have identified as being meaningful to them, will provide the best results for hitting the target. Use the opportunity and begin to take practical steps to encourage them and begin creating a culture of authentic appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing so will help the morale in the workplace, and will also provide the foundation for your co-workers to feel like they are a valued part of the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You may be surrounded by co-workers that need to feel appreciated and be encouraged, and you may not know it.
