s managers, we all know that employee burnout is a real concern. That's one of the reasons we celebrate Employee Appreciation Day. Did you know that when employees feel appreciated, there is an 84% decrease in the chance they will experience burnout? It's true!
Appreciation comes in many forms, from bringing breakfast to saying thank you, and it doesn't matter what you do as long as you let each person know they are a valuable team member. According to O.C. Tanner, appreciation shows employees they are valued and belong. It helps increase employee engagement, boost employee morale, and build a company culture that can help attract and keep employees.
It's crucial to recognize and celebrate all employees, especially when they work in a virtual environment. Employers can face challenges in doing so, but it's worth the effort. Set aside time for a virtual meeting and make sure company leadership is present to recognize each employee. Even though most employees say they don't need recognition, they still appreciate it. Failing to recognize their contributions can lead to higher turnover rates, as talented workers seek other opportunities where their efforts are valued. Research has shown that 66% of employees will leave their jobs if they don't feel appreciated. Let's make sure we're recognizing and celebrating our virtual employees to keep our team strong.
So, this Employee Appreciation Day, let's take the time to show our employees how much we appreciate them. When companies celebrate together, employees are 20 times more likely to feel connected and want to stay. Let's build a culture of appreciation and make our workplace a better place to be!
