Thank you!
How did that feel? Yes, it’s for you. Thank you! That’s how simple yet powerful appreciation can be.
But how is that relevant to your business? Believe it or not, this is one of the keys for developing and maintaining your workforce. It not only builds employee morale and makes them feel better about themselves, but it helps them build a strong relationship with the organization as well.
This means, they are not just working for the payslip anymore, but like you, they too are committed to seeing ‘their’ company grow.
This leads to enhanced performance (show us your smile now). Our brains are wired in a way to do the things we are encouraged for. We tend to do it more often and effectively. Ultimately, this results in better performance and increased productivity for your firm, by just a few words conveying that you value your employees.
Convinced but confused? The ‘how’ of appreciation is really simple. Let us show you.
You have chosen to read this out of the million other things you could do right now. Thank you so much for your time and effort to understand this very crucial aspect today!
See? It doesn’t have to come from an extraordinary place. It stems from gratitude. And there is nothing warmer than a few cherishing words straight from the heart.
Small but heartfelt gestures make all the difference. You don’t need to spend on lavish gifts or take the clan out partying every weekend. No, you don’t have to go about saying “Thank you”“Good job” all day, to everyone either.
It shouldn’t be expensive or boring. It should be simple and thoughtful.
Send them a surprise email, a handwritten letter, talk about their family, a few kind words for a challenge they are currently facing. All these will go a long way, not only to build your organization but also the organization culture.
Just a caution! Don’t be surprised, if you start seeing your employees appreciating each other very soon after you start the practice. Kindness has the power to transform the hectic work environment into joyous partnerships of getting things done with focus, efficiency and happiness.
What are you waiting for?
Pass on the gratitude.
Thank you!
