How Can Employers Show Appreciation?

Employees are essential to business success. One of the best ways to attract top talent is to offer a culture where employees are treated extremely well. A company can show appreciation in so many ways from handwritten notes to public recognition to good old fashioned compensation increases and bonuses. Here are a few ideas to get a company started:

• Allow employees to acknowledge each other. This fosters relationships in the workplace which also increases happiness and productivity.
• Express gratitude on social media.
• Offer team rewards. This encourages camaraderie at work amongst peers and is a great way to acknowledge more than one employee.
• Give extra time off. This shows your employees that their time is valuable and that you are willing to give some back to them in exchange for their hard work.
• Company events. People enjoy having fun and company-sponsored events are an excellent way to show employees that fun is also important.
