While we’ve posted on
‘Thank You” before, we don’t think we say it enough. And while many organizations do a good job of
thanking their people we still see a wide variance between wanting to do and
the actual act. It’s a shame, but true.
Being thankful and
expressing your gratitude is an important part of employee engagement. Finding the proper way to thank others for
their performance and assistance or just remind them how much their efforts
mean to you can be rewarding for them year round. Take a moment to reflect on why saying ‘thank you’ is important.
Remember what saying saying ‘thank
you’ really does:
- shows how much you value another
person
- brings out the best in others
- draws people closer together
- shows that you are part of a team or family
- brings out the best in others
- draws people closer together
- shows that you are part of a team or family
Here are some quotes from famous people
