They know you appreciate them, but how often do you take the time to actually show your employees your appreciation? Even the smallest ‘thank you’ won’t go unnoticed and will make for a positive work environment.
Here’s 10 creative ways to give your employees the appreciation they truly deserve.
1. Say thanks.
Invite your employees into your office just to say thanks. Simple and effective.
2. Mid-week treat.
Provide a mid-week snack or surprise your team with breakfast or lunch.
3. Tickets.
Offer tickets to a concert, movie, workshop or gala. A fun night out is a sure way to show your gratitude.
4. Give the gift of sweets.
Leave a small packet of candy with a fun compliment! ‘You’re a lifesaver’ with a packet of lifesavers or ‘I donut know what I would do without you!’ with a donut.
5. Employee of the month.
If you don’t have something in place, please do so. This will add a little friendly competition into the mix that your employees will appreciate as well.
6. Happy hour, themed luncheon or dinner party.
Plan a monthly outing with your entire team and let them decide on where to go.
7. Flexible scheduling.
Give them the option to leave early on a day they’ve finished their work early or even an extra holiday.
8. A retreat.
If the budget allows send an employee to a conference or workshop for a knowledgeable retreat and some R&R.
9. Holiday parties and birthdays.
Schedule in holiday parties and small treats on birthdays for a more personal approach to saying ‘thank you for all the hard work’.
10. Simple handwritten note.
Another small, but effective gesture. Leave a handwritten card or note throughout the year or on special occasions, such as holidays and birthdays.
