What is the impact of employee appreciation?

Employees do a lot for a business, and they want and deserve to feel appreciated. Employee appreciation has a significant impact on employee motivation, engagement, and retention. When employees feel appreciated, they are more likely to be motivated to perform their best and contribute to the organisation's success. Employee appreciation also fosters a positive work environment, which helps build strong relationships and a sense of community among employees.

How does employee appreciation drive retention and engagement?

Employee appreciation plays a crucial role in driving employee retention and engagement by boosting morale and job satisfaction. When employees feel valued and recognised for their contributions, they are more likely to be committed to their job and the organisation. Additionally, recognition programmes that incorporate employee appreciation can improve employee engagement by providing a sense of purpose, belonging, and fulfillment.
