THE WORK OF APPRECIATION IN A COMPANY

​It is a known fact that appreciation is one of the top motivators for employees to work harder and to be more committed to their companies. Studies show that appreciation is directly linked to happiness in the workplace – and what more could one wish for than being happy? 

When employees and their work are valued, their satisfaction and productivity rises, and they are motivated to maintain or improve their good work. Showing gratitude also helps keep workers from wanting to leave. The presence of an ethical climate will attach people to a company. It is not always just money that can express appreciation. A lot of employees would feel more appreciated if their boss gave them an unexpected treat, like snacks, lunches, dinners or thank you notes, while others would enjoy a company-sponsored social event, such as a holiday party or happy hour. Even these cost-efficient forms of appreciation show employees that they are valued. 

Other forms of no-cost appreciation may be:
