In today's competitive job market, it's more crucial than ever to make sure your employees are reasonably content where they are. And that means helping them feel appreciated, no matter what role they play within your organization.

In fact, 95% of employees say that on-the-job recognition is a big part of maintaining a positive company culture. At the same time, a good 30% of today's workers feel undervalued on the job, according to data from Snappy Gifts. Here are a few critical steps to take so that your employees don't start feeling the same -- and jump ship because of it.

1. Ask for their input

Sometimes the mere act of asking for a worker's opinion is enough to make that person feel like he or she adds value to your company. The next time there's a new initiative being rolled out, or a process change under consideration, poll your team members individually and request their input. Giving workers a voice will make them feel more important, all the while boosting their self-esteem.
