Employee Appreciation Day
Employees are one of a company's greatest assets
On this day, employers around the world make the extra effort to appreciate their employees’ effort and dedication. Since its inception, an increasing number of companies have embraced this occasion to recognize the achievements and contributions of their employees with special events, gifts and surprises.
Even a little bit of recognition can make a big impact on employee motivation. Research shows that feeling appreciated increases morale, improves engagement and reduces turnover. In fact, employee recognition has been proven to boost oxytocin levels — that’s the chemical our bodies create when we bond socially.
