Practicing gratitude in the workplace can have positive effects on employee morale and retention.
The result is a vicious, culturally ingrained circle of ingratitude, which can have a terrible effect on workplace morale and cohesion. Why should this be the case? Because the need for a paycheck is only one of the motivations we bring to work. We don’t just work for money. We also work for respect, for a sense of accomplishment, for a feeling of purpose. We invest our selves and our emotions into our jobs, and work affects our emotional states.
In this workshop we will cover:
-The definition of appreciation
-The role appreciation plays in creating a positive organizational culture and strengthening employee-leader relationships
-Ways to promote initiatives that encourage and recognize employees
-The importance of appreciating employees
Studies that have revealed how appreciation should be varied in delivery
