The Power of Appreciation

"When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute." -  Simon Sinek 

Greetings!

Let's dive into the numbers:



• Improved job satisfaction and reduced turnover. According to a Glassdoor survey, 81% of employees said they are more motivated to work harder when their boss shows appreciation for their work. Research by Deloitte showed that organizations with a strong recognition culture have 31% lower voluntary turnover rates. According to a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management, recognition programs are the number one driver of employee retention.

• Increased innovation and productivity. Appreciated employees are more likely to share ideas and contribute to innovation and creativity within the organization, as they feel their input is valued. A Forbes article reported that appreciation and recognition can increase an employee's productivity by up to 50%. A study published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology found that employees who felt recognized and appreciated had better psychological well-being and job performance.

• Enhanced engagement and team collaboration. Gallup's State of the Global Workplace report has consistently shown engaged employees are more committed to their work and company. Research published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that when supervisors express gratitude, it strengthens their relationships with employees and boosts employees' perception of supervisor effectiveness. And when employees feel appreciated, they are more likely to support and help their colleagues
