November brings us National Gratitude Month!
Gratitude is more than simply saying “Thank you”. But, reflection and the giving of thanks are powerful strategies to boosting self-wellness. Reflecting on that for which we are grateful, is an important way for people to feel satisfaction with themselves rather than dissatisfaction with what they don’t have.
Gratitude in the workplace is just as important as leadership. Showing thankfulness and gratitude among staff encourages happiness in the workplace. Showing gratitude can make you feel better about your life. It can help manage mental health problems like depression and anxiety, as well as improve self-esteem and sleep.
Just as people express love differently, they offer and receive appreciation in different ways as well. You might be offering your employees recognition through shout-outs or gifts—yet every person doesn’t recognize those efforts as appreciation.
How do you boost your employees morale and create a happy and healthy work culture?
– Recognize and Reward Achievement
– Don’t forget about Financial Incentives
– Giving employees more time off
– incorporate meaningful time away from the office
