What is Employee Appreciation Day?
Employee Appreciation Day is a day for reflection and thanks. A day for employers to remember the importance of their employees and show gratitude for their hard work.
On employee appreciation day, managers, company leadership and HR have the opportunity to reward employees for their service and will often celebrate with an early finish, gifts, meals, events or special recognition.
Studies suggest that recognition and genuine appreciation is important within business for both retention and productivity.
According to Forbes, over 80% of American employees say they don’t feel recognized or rewarded, yet a report by the Brandon Hall Group suggests that organizations who reward employees multiple times per month are 41% more likely to see increased retention rates in addition to heightened employee engagement and motivation.
With the demand for high-quality talent never greater, effective employee appreciation, recognition and rewards can go a long way towards successfully retaining employees, attracting high-quality new ones and providing a sense of value.
Employee recognition and service awards are a great option for showing appreciation towards long-standing and highly valued employees, whose commitment and accomplishments have contributed to extraordinary impact.
The right corporate gift, that highlights gratefulness for employee dedication, can contribute to higher levels of job satisfaction and provide an incentive to keep up the good work.
