What is Appreciation?

Appreciation is acknowledgement of a job well done. It can be expressed in many ways, but when used effectively, it changes everything. It awakens talent. Inspires creativity. And cultivates possibility.

Appreciation starts small. A note to say thanks for working late. Movie tickets for going the extra mile. But when nourished, appreciation grows into solutions that change the culture of your workplace and move the company forward.

Why Appreciate?

Talent moves to where it is appreciated. In fact, 79% of those who quit their jobs cite lack of appreciation as a factor.

But appreciation does more than keep people happy. It inspires them to do more. To go further. It transforms managers into leaders and employees into champions. By appreciating people who embrace and move your vision forward, you also strengthen your corporate brand. And when you inspire growth in your people and your brand, your bottom line grows too.

How to Appreciate?

Appreciation starts with noticing great work. And then saying thanks. It really is that simple. You can appreciate extra effort. A milestone achievement. Relationships fostered.

Not sure what it should be? Maybe you treat everyone to a movie on company time. Leave sweets in their desk drawers. Or create a recognition program where specific actions lead to a selection of rewards. Whatever it takes to inspire a culture of engagement in your organization, O.C. Tanner will make your appreciation program uniquely yours.
