Workplace Comradery Celebration: Linking to Employee Health and Happiness

Revamped Article:

Got March 3rd marked on your calendar? That's none other than National Employee Appreciation Day! Bob Nelson started this little shindig in 1995, a day dedicated to employee-to-employer goodwill and gratitude. With the changes in the workforce due to massive layoffs, the Great Resignation, and the struggle for top talent, it's crucial that employers pay attention to Employee Appreciation Day.

Research by Deloitte further underlines the importance of recognition. Employees want to feel heard and valued, and guess what? They have various preferences regarding who should dole out the appreciation.

  • 37% of employees want to bask in the adoration of leadership.
  • 32% dream of a pat on the back from their direct supervisors.
  • A sizable 31% hanker for appreciation from their peers.

A study published by Business News Daily highlights that employees who feel heard and valued display improved morale and performance [1].

So, what's your plan to raise up and support your team members on National Employee Appreciation Day and every other day?

Donna Letier, in her infinite wisdom, offers a brilliant idea — by recognizing employees with opportunities to nurture nature, you can dish out double-dose appreciation and wellness. It's a win-win!

Now, let's not forget about wellness, shall we? Life in American culture often means putting our needs on the back burner while prioritizing work. At Gardenuity, we believe in mental and physical wellness through gardening, and we're proud to work alongside HR leaders, Chief People Officers, and Chief Happiness Officers nationwide who are nurturing an appreciation culture for their teams.

Make it a point to express gratitude creatively, and remember, it all starts with a heartfelt "thank you."
