Everyone likes to hear “thank you.” And as the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded how important it is to be thankful for those in our lives. Employees are the backbone of your business and keep your corporate world spinning—so every now and then you should show your appreciation. It can be much easier than you think—and a little gratitude can go a long way.
Three Ways to Say Thanks
Your employees work hard to help your business achieve success, day in and day out. Consider these three quick ways to let your workers know their hard work does not go unnoticed:
Bring Them a Treat
It can be as simple as donuts and coffee, or as elaborate as a company luncheon or dinner. Or it could be in the form of a travel coffee mug, gift card, company t-shirt or mouse pad. But whatever the treat, present it with words of gratitude for a job well done.
Offer a Special Dress Down Day
If your office requires business dress, a day when employees can wear jeans and sneakers will be much appreciated. It’s like saying, “You work hard every other today, but today we’re going to breathe just a little bit easier.”
Thank Them Publicly
Does your company have an intranet, internal newsletter or even a cafeteria bulletin board? It can be incredibly meaningful to your staff to see their name in print as you publicly recognize them for all the work they’ve done on a particular project.
The Benefits of Gratitude
Having an “attitude of gratitude” can be more than just a nice gesture—it can also make your company a much nicer place to work. Employees like to be recognized, and doing so can help encourage them to keep up the good work. And when employees are motivated, your company’s productivity will soar.
