This sentiment, of applauding people for good work , works both ways. It makes the applaud-ee feel good, it does believe me, even if its simply because someone noticed it and cared enough to say it. It also makes the applaud-ee tad bit more respectful towards the applaud-er and try to return the favor. Add more people in this and its a recipe for a healthier work environment.
