Why Should You Make Your Coworkers Value You?
First and foremost, your coworkers will take you more seriously at work if you are valued. Just because you are the funniest person on your team doesn’t mean you’re important to your team. Even if your coworkers like you, they may not really think much of you. When your coworkers value you, it means that they treat you with much respect and significance.
Moreover, to be successful at work you deserve to be valued by your coworkers. Did you know that a study from Harvard Business Review has shown that workers ranked feeling respected as the most important need in the workplace. Think about the last time you felt disrespected at work. I’m sure that disrespect by a boss or colleague really hurt you.
Above all, when your coworkers value you, they will not kick you to the curb if someone new joins the team.
How to Make Your Coworkers Value You More

Amazingly, the 3 magic tips you’re about to uncover doesn’t involve working more hours or learning a new skill. These are very simple things that you can do at any level in your career. Now let’s dive in:
Magic #1: Recognition
Recognizing your coworkers is on the keys to making your coworkers think highly of you. As a matter of fact, only an unsuccessful people think that recognizing others will diminish his or her relevance. Whenever you say something good about your coworkers’ performance or service, you automatically make your coworkers value you more. By recognizing your coworkers, you make them feel like the effort they put in is being noticed. Interestingly, a lot of people within your circle yearn for constant validation. They need their unique qualities to be recognized.
“A brave man acknowledges the strength of others.”
― Divergent
Recognizing your coworkers indicates that you are confident enough to let go of any personal insecurities or loss. Besides, your self-worth is determined by how confident you are. For instance, it takes guts to recognize a rival coworker who had more weekly sales than you. While the average worker will shy away from recognizing rival colleagues, you are reinstating your maturity by recognizing others. More so, through the recognition of your coworkers, you endorse the capabilities of your coworkers. So when you endorse your coworkers you are strengthening their belief in themselves.
Actually, endorsing your coworkers capabilities makes them feel worthy and in turn they value you as an integral team member. And as the popular saying goes: one good turn deserves another. Naturally, your coworkers will tend to reciprocate the recognition you gave them by also acknowledging your good works.
Magic #2: Appreciation
According to economists, human wants are insatiable. That is to say, you can never appreciate your coworkers enough. Interestingly, one of the deepest cravings of human beings is to be appreciated. Therefore, appreciating your coworkers makes them feel worthy.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ―
Most times your coworkers act mean and irrational because they don’t get any pat on the back. As human beings, they expect to gain some type of appreciation for going above and beyond. But the frustration kicks in when they don’t get appreciated. No one tells them ‘good job’ or gives a shout out for all the hard work. Your appreciation motivates your coworkers to do a better job. It is an emotional reward you give to your coworkers. As a result, you become valued by your coworkers.
Remember, there is no shortage of people who want to feel appreciated. However, you need to be cautious of too much appreciation. Often, too much appreciation comes off as flattery. And when your coworkers will not take you serious if they think you flatter them all the time. Always give an honest appreciation.
Magic #3: Praise
To become a valuable team player, you need to give credit where credit is due. In other words, your coworker deserves to be acknowledged by you for a job well done. Although you may not like or agree with your coworker, it is necessary that you praise your coworker for a great performance. Believe it or not, your coworker cherish praise especially public accolade.
“There are two things people want more than sex and money… recognition and praise.”– Mary Kay Ash
While praise is important, align your praise with your coworker activities. In other words, don’t offer empty praises. Neither should you offer the wrong praise. In order to be effective, your praise should correspond with the level of performance or service of your coworker. Meaning that your praise has to be honest. A dishonest praise will only wound your coworker.
Lest you forget, people are very sensitive to the amount of praise they receive from others. You don’t want your praise to make your coworkers feel uncomfortable. When your praise makes your coworker uncomfortable you hear words like: “you’re just saying that.” Much less the response from your coworker may be a hysterical laugh. Overall, praising your coworkers inspires a positive emotions in your coworkers. Who would you value? Someone who depletes your emotional bank account or someone who boosts your emotional bank account?
