Why Validating Your Team Matters
Share on
Think back to when you played a sport or joined a club. Everyone had a role, and each contribution mattered. But what happens when only a few get recognized, or worse, no one at all? Unseen contributors start to disengage — they show up, but without feeling valued, they give less than their best.
Why? Because without validation, it’s hard to see why giving your all matters. That’s why validating your team is essential to both your business and company culture.
From day one, your goal is to make new employees feel welcomed and supported. Nobody likes walking into a new environment feeling lost. A personalized new hire kit with branded items or company apparel can make them feel part of the team instantly. These simple gestures build confidence and help prevent early turnover.
What about the employees who have stuck with you through everything? They need just as much recognition and validation. Consistently checking in, reviewing accomplishments, and rewarding hard work all show that you care. Public recognition can be a powerful tool—boosting not only individual confidence but also the sense of value within the team.
If your employees aren’t happy, your clients won’t be either. Disengaged employees lead to a domino effect of resignations, unhappy customers, and declining sales. Simply put: your team is essential to your success. Without them, where would your business be?
You’re all on the same team, working toward one goal. Create a culture of validation and recognition, and watch everything improve from there.
