Celebrating success

Celebrating success in team meetings

It is important to ensure that positive feedback is shared with colleagues. Sharing personal success stories in team meetings (whether face-to-face or online) is a good way to celebrate achievements and embed the learning. To do this successfully, it might help to ask people to send details of their achievements to team leaders in advance, as people are often reluctant to speak up in public – especially about their successes.

Asking team members to record examples of inspirational practice that they have observed in their teams can also motivate others and encourage learning and personal growth.

In time, celebrating achievements should become embedded in the team culture. It is also worth considering celebrating non-work achievements as this can also help people feel valued.
