Workplace appreciation is the most important motivation for employees. Timely recognition of your value, work quality, and effort put forth are directly related to job satisfaction. This dedication to the employer greatly increases employee retention. Motivated employees are more likely to maintain or improve standards, especially for ethical companies that fulfill their employees’ basic human needs. Those who are appreciated are less stressed have improved overall health and wellbeing. When gratitude is expressed, it can create happiness, optimism, and self-esteem.
Engaging with your colleagues in a way that expresses gratitude and appreciation for them can be just as rewarding as being on the receiving end. It’s my goal to show you how to take an active role in your professional gratification and to find your value in the workplace.
