How Did Getting a Reward Make You Feel?

 

Think about the last time you received a thank you gift for your performance at work.  How did it make you feel?  

Gifts have the power to unleash powerful reactions and sentiments. Tokens of appreciation, whether big or small, can convey gratitude, love, kindness, and comfort. Beyond providing a serotonin surge, in the workplace these symbols of thoughtfulness have been shown to improve engagement and deepen relationships with employees, clients, and other important business contacts. 

Take Advantage of the Power of Recognition with Gifts. 

The benefits are undeniable: 

·       A John Templeton Foundation survey found that 70% of those polled would feel better about themselves if their boss were more grateful, and 81% would work harder. 

·       A Gallup poll revealed that companies that have high employee engagement scores outperform others by 14% in productivity, 18% in sales, 23% in profitability and 66% on wellbeing.  

But there is a challenge. Office rules have changed, but the importance of recognition hasn’t. You need to look for ways to create a culture of recognition and engagement that is future-proof. Don’t let the lack of corporate office time impede your employee appreciation program. By implementing creative solutions, you can keep motivating and engaging your employees through remote gifting and team building – allowing employees to develop stronger bonds while working apart. 

According to a survey by Terminal, 77% of leadership had never managed a fully remote team prior to the pandemic.  Leadership has risen to the challenge of fostering remote relationships, maintaining productivity while still being empathetic to employees’ needs, and inspiring them to continue delivering strong work.
