In both cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were less likely to 【C9】______ themselves and were more likely to 【C10】______employment elsewhere. According to the company, praising staff has the same 【C11】______ kick as a 1 percent pay rise—and 【C12】______ much cheaper for bosses. Three 【C13】______ four employees said that regular 【C14】______ by their bosses was important to them,【C15】______only a quarter said they were 【C16】______given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those【C17】______ blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to【C18】______any recognition for doing well.
