CREATE A CULTURE OF APPRECIATION AT WORK


Figure 1 : Culture appreciation work (Garrett, 2021)


People who feel valued as humans and are rewarded for their successes and ambitions develop a culture of appreciation at work. Employers must make a concerted effort to empower employees and provide emotional safety in order to promote this type of working environment. Employee engagement improves dramatically when there is a great business culture filled with respect and recognition. Instead of employing negative reinforcement and manipulation, this type of atmosphere is built on trust and the desire to inspire employees (Conner, 2013).


BENEFITS OF BUILDING CULTURE APPRECIATION AT WORK


1.  Improves employee morale and satisfaction : Coworkers will make encouraging each other the norm.

2.  Strengthens recruitment efforts: Employees who are satisfied with their jobs will tell others about it and become your first recruiters.

3. Stress and absenteeism are reduced: A positive business culture decreases tension and motivates employees to show up and accomplish their duties with zeal.

4.  Employee retention is improved: Employees who are happy prefer to stay; they enjoy a balance of stability and variation, as well as opportunities for personal growth and development.

5.  Employee productivity is increased: Employees that are happy in their employment want to keep them, and they understand that high productivity and results protect their jobs (Nadkarni et al, 2021)

Ø  Solicit feedback from employees: Getting employee feedback is a skill. Building the ultimate employee experience necessitates ongoing iteration and feedback.

    If there is no appreciation for the work which is being done, most of the employees tend to get discouraged and demotivated. Therefore, it is essential to always create a work environment in which all the employees feel appreciated and recognised, through which the employee motivation and satisfaction will eventually get increased. This ultimately helps the organisational performance. A very interesting read.
