Employees are one of the most valuable of company’s assets because of their significant contribution to the smooth function of it. Nevertheless, many times employees feel that their work is not as estimated as it should be which leads to a fall of their productivity. Which are the signs that we can recognize such a feeling?

1. Lack of interest and fall of moral. When an employee feels that neither his ideas nor his offer is valued by the company, stops contributing to its meetings and activities as well as to the daily workload.
2. Change denial. This kind of reaction, which can gradually increase to a distractive behavior, can take an active form, resistance to every change or technological advancement is proposed, or a passive one, with a simple indifference to everything that happens inside his workplace.
3. Lack of cooperation. Gradually, employee will present signs of resentment and anger. This result to loosing valuable, productive time and energy which could be used for company’s benefit or projects.
4. Reduced productivity. The result of all of the above is naturally a fall to employee’s productivity, despite his company position. An ‘’undervalued’’ employee is more luckily not to make his maximum effort but to work as little as possible.
5. Finally, this employee will take the decision to leave the company and start searching for a job in which he believes will be highly estimated.

Solutions to this phenomenon are simple but with significant results to the proper company function. Public appreciation, spending time with the employees or even a simple ‘’thank you’’ can bring significant change to his behavior and performance.
