SOURCES FOR EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION

EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION COMES FROM FOUR DIFFERENT DESIRES

DESIRE TO HELP THE COMPANY OVERALL

This comes from the pride of association with the company as well as enhancing the personal relationship that they have with the company. After all, if they love the company tey are more inclined to want to help it achieve the success. Thus the company should show the staff the recognition and act in a style representative of something they can take pride in.

DESIRE FOR PERSONAL SUCCESS

If they feel that they will be able to participate in success, or will be rewarded for hard work, the worker is motivated to try harder. After all, the harder they work, the more they get. Thus having the company recognize good behavior and rewarding that behavior can achieve this goal.

employee appreciation

DESIRE FOR TO HELP FELLOW WORKERS

If failure results in poor conditions for their comrades, or if success will prevent negative results, such as layoff or salary decreases, then employee motivation can result from a desire to help those he or she works with. Having an employee appreciation event that enhances the bonding of the staff can enhance this sense.

DESIRE FOR PRIDE IN A JOB WELL DONE

This can include the more practical aspects of looking at a job as way of showing off their capabilities which can result in promotion or job opportunities elsewhere. Though this may indicate an innate dissatisfaction with the status quo, it can result in an increase in productivity in the short-term and may enhance job satisfaction in the long-term. Having an employee appreciation event that recognizes individual achievement achieves this goal.

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT

SMALL WAYS FOR EXECUTIVES TO ALSO SHOW APPRECIATION

  • SWAG BAGS - help them to show their loyalty to your brand by letting them wear shirts, hats, and the like. If appropriate, maybe samples of your products could be beneficial. If given at the end, it's a way to send them off on a high note and not that you are kicking them out.
  • PERSONALIZED NOTES - small things letting them know that they are still individuals and appreciated for themselves. Maybe the note can recognize a specific idea or other contribution to the company. It can go a long way to making them realize that they are being seen and remembered.
  • PHOTO OPS - have a picture taken together with executives. Possibly use a backdrop that is of interest or shows your company. If you need a visualization, think about the red carpet at the Oscars and how they take pictures in front of backdrops that are related to sponsors of the event. Follow it up by personally signing the photo and sending it framed as a keepsake.
  • HAVE SOME ONE ON ONE TIME - make sure to have the opportunity to speak individually with the employees, or at least the managers, to let them know you appreciate them. Let them also know that you want them to relay your message to their team.
  • SHARE SOMETHING PERSONAL - let them see the human side of you so that you are more than just an executive. The more they can relate with you the more that a level of trust can be built. Feeling like they are working for someone as opposed to a company can help solidify organizational loyalty.

EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION DAY
The first Friday of March is a great opportunity to show your workers that they are valued. Employee Appreciation Day is just one day, but really you should show their value more often. Realize the savings represented by increasing the retention of employees and preventing the costs associated with inreased turnover. Our programs can help you to enhance your retention programs.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

1

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE IN THE PEOPLE ATTENDING TO ACHIEVE YOUR SUCCESS? WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS? WHERE IS YOUR ROI COMING FROM AND WHAT KPIs WOULD YOU CONSIDER PROOF OF SUCCESS?

The first step is to determine your overall needs for the whole event as well as more specifically the part of your gathering that you would be hiring us for. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns for the organization. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you the most. We will discuss with you different options to achieve the results you are looking for and how to see that success. Challenge us! We can then challenge your team to take their abilities to the next level!

2

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY PEOPLE?

We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

3

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
