"High Fives & Happy Vibes: The magic of feeling appreciated!"

Feeling appreciated at work is crucial for job satisfaction and overall well-being. When people on your team feel that their work is valued and their contributions are recognized, they tend to be more engaged, motivated, and productive. 

There are many ways that employers can show their appreciation for their employees, such as providing opportunities for growth and development, offering meaningful feedback, and recognizing accomplishments. Even small gestures like a simple "thank you" note or acknowledging a job well done can go a long way in making employees feel valued. Feeling valued can also foster a positive work culture where employees feel supported, respected, and motivated to do their best. When employees feel appreciated, they are more likely to go the extra mile and contribute to the success of the organization.

On the other hand, when employees feel undervalued and unappreciated, they may become disengaged, unmotivated, and even resentful. This can lead to decreased productivity, poor job performance, and increased turnover rates.

Statistics based on a recent research shows that: 

• 29% of employees haven’t received recognition for good work in over a year, if at all.
• 80% of employees would work harder if they felt better appreciated.
• Strong employee recognition programs reduce turnover rates by 31%.
• Employees who are recognized are almost six times more likely to stay at their jobs than those who aren’t.
• 37% of employees report that the best way to improve their engagement is for their superiors to give them recognition.
• 92% of employees are likely to repeat a specific action if given recognition for it.

A person who is appreciated will always do more than expected!
