Content: Employees would be more productive if they were appreciated and recognized for their hard work. Birthdays, work anniversaries and accomplishments (big and small) are important things to recognize, especially as your company grows and news doesn’t reach everyone quite so easily. Acknowledging good work is essential to making employees feel like their work matters—74% of employees say they’d work harder if they were better appreciated and recognized, the Workhuman Research Institute found. Don’t just tell employees their work matters— show them. By making a small investment and rewarding employees in a meaningful way, you’ll inspire loyalty and boost progress. Something as simple as a handwritten note or gift card can go a long way. A bonus can go even further. Either way, increasing the amount of vertical communication between upper management and employees can have a powerful effect in creating a more collaborative and transparent atmosphere. Takeaway: A thank-you can go a long way in retaining employees and fostering good morale.
