Employee Appreciation Day

Employee appreciation has become a big focus of modern business practices, and for good reason. Studies have found that when employees feel appreciated, they are more likely to work efficiently, collaborate and show company loyalty. Appreciation has a trickle down effect - when management appreciates employees, employees show more appreciation towards each other. The result is happier teams, working together and achieving great things. 

Traditional methods have been replaced with unique employee appreciation ideas. For example, money is a poor reward. In a 2007 study, 70% of respondents to a survey said meaningful recognition has "no dollar value". What does make a difference is positive feedback, a fun work environment and shared experiences. 

Unexpected employee recognition gifts are often appreciated more than planned events. A coffee cake delivered to the break room on a Friday morning is a great way to let your branch know their efforts are seen and appreciated, without the formality of a rewards ceremony. Another employee appreciation idea is to send gourmet cookies in a box with a personalized message, letting your team know exactly how much their work matters.
