Boost Engagement Through a Culture of Thanks

Wednesday, June 16, 2021

As the pandemic winds down, many employees have taken the time to reflect on what they want personally and professionally. This is leading to a seismic shift in the workforce. Simply put, employees are leaving their posts in droves for what they see as better opportunities. Engagement plays a key role in their decision to stay or go, and smart employers are doing everything they can to boost that metric. Start by understanding that recognition and appreciation go a long way in keeping engagement high. This can be monetary and material, or by making the act of thanking individuals for a job well-done part of your culture. We normally think of recognition as a raise or a promotion. These are obviously important, but a culture of thanks can take many forms—writing someone a thank you note, acknowledging them on a team huddle, or rewarding them with certain perks. Success should be viewed as proof of what’s possible and celebrated meaningfully.
