8 Ways to Show Appreciation at Work: Tips for Managers and Employees

▤ Summary

A survey by PlanBeyond, an American market research agency, showed that feeling undervalued was the number one reason for quitting a job last year. Research on gratitude by the University of Pennsylvania showed employees felt motivated to work harder when managers remembered to say, “thank you”. To keep them engaged and feeling valued, managers should talk to them about their future opportunities and overall growth potential within the company. During a project update, for instance, it would be a great time to give a shout-out to the colleague whose work made all the difference. If you feel too awkward to single out a coworker, then bring enough cookies or donuts for the entire team and leave a note thanking them for their hard work.
