Building a Culture of Appreciation, Recognition and Thanks
By Linda Ballard, CHRO
Saying thank you and showing appreciation for your colleagues just got easier with BHG’s new recognition program called “Applause.” Your invitation to join the platform is in your email. Please take a moment to register on the site. Once registered, you can begin using this platform immediately. All BHG employees can use the program, not just managers. There are multiple ways to recognize and appreciate employees for going above and beyond, including sending a simple thank-you note or an e-card to recognize milestones such as work anniversaries and birthdays.
According to this Psychology Today article, showing gratitude is good for your health and can positively affect the workplace. Gratitude can increase a person’s wellness, improve sleep habits, increase metabolism and lessen stress. This directly impacts work results and employee interaction.
If you need a little creative inspiration, check out these employee appreciation quotes at Teambuilding.com
Don’t miss a moment to recognize, celebrate and support employees as we continue to grow better together to restore lives, strengthen families and rejuvenate communities.
