Employee appreciation Day takes place on the first Friday of March every year, and it’s a great opportunity to show your employees how much you value them. When employees feel appreciated, they perform at their best and are less likely to leave. In fact, organizations that rate their culture of recognition highly are 3 times more likely to see increased employee retention and 2.5 times more likely to see increased employee engagement, among other benefits.
Don’t get us wrong, you can’t buy employee loyalty and expect retention, but you can show appreciation and gratitude. That in itself speaks volumes. Who doesn’t love hearing the words Great Job, Thank You or I appreciate you?
