Did you know that the 1st March is an important day? No, it's not Easter yet. Put those Creme Eggs away. 🐣 Although, it IS earlier than normal this year, yum. No, it's Employee Appreciation Day. Obviously, pretty important to highlight, but why wait for that one day to show your employees you care? We're grateful for our people every day! Ok, so we're not handing out trophies daily. Sometimes it doesn't have to be a major thing - simple 'thank you's' go a long way. We recognise what people do. For example, you might have seen on our iAM socials that for the last few months, we've been highlighting our team with 'In the Spotlight' posts. They make people feel good, and they come from the heart. It's a subtle, but fantastic way of recognising them. I've been told it boosts morale. ✨ In fairness, the people and talent we have here at iAM are incredible, so that makes it incredibly easy to thank them and genuinely mean it. Sometimes you see companies going through the motions in terms of staff recognition, but hear first-hand that things aren't necessarily like that. Anyway, spotlight posts aren't the only way we reward our team. There are other things like creating a fun and relaxed work culture, flexible hours, training and support so the team can reach their professional and personal goals and coaching sessions with external coaches every so often. They all add up, and I generally get good feedback. One of the most telling things, though, is that staff turnover is insanely low. When people start here, they tend to stay. That helps us share skills and experience and create great things together. 🙌🏻 Spend this Employee Appreciation Day rewarding your staff in some way or another, and they'll reward you right back. Incidentally, does anyone have any other ideas I can use to reward our team here at iAM? Anything fun, morale-boosting or tasty? Let me know below, please. 👇🏻 #thoughtleadership #recognition #ourpeople #behindthebrand #employeeappreciationday

Appreciation Day is a special occasion to celebrate the hard work and dedication of employees. It's like a warm ray of sunshine on a cold winter day, illuminating the path ahead and warming our hearts. Just as a flower blooms with care and nourishment, employees blossom when they feel valued and appreciated. Employee appreciation is not just about handing out bonuses or gifts. It's about acknowledging the effort and contribution of each individual, and making them feel like they are part of a family. It's about recognizing the small victories and the challenges overcome, and showing gratitude for the unique skills and talents each employee brings to the table. Appreciation Day is a reminder that every employee is a vital cog in the wheel of success. It's a day to reflect on the journey we've taken together, and to look forward to the brighter future ahead. Let's cherish this day, and make it a regular occurrence, because every day should be a day of appreciation for our dedicated employees.

It’s EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION DAY! 📌Appreciation is often used interchangeably with the word recognition, but there is a big difference between both words. Recognition is about giving positive feedback based on results or performance. Appreciation, on the other hand, is about acknowledging a person’s inherent value. The point isn’t their accomplishments. It’s their worth as a colleague and a human being. ⭐In simple terms, recognition is about what people do; appreciation is about who they are. ➡️ 3 ways to make others feel appreciated: 1. Tell people what you value about them: Doing this proactively (not because someone did something great or because you want something from them), can positively affect how your colleagues feel about themselves. 2. Check in with the people you work with: Asking how they’re doing (and meaning it) and what they’re challenged by right now can show them that you care. 3. Make it meaningful and specific: There is a big difference between saying "thank you" & sitting down with someone to describe the things you value about their work and its positive effect on the team. So, take the opportunity to go appreciate someone today 💫 #wellbeing #TeamAppreciation #worklife

My mom forwarded me a quote this morning: "If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person." - Fred Rogers It got me thinking ... March 1st is Employee Appreciation Day. Day. Just one day. Why are we only setting aside one day to the dedicated the individuals whose importance is beyond profound? That just doesn't sit right with me. Which is why our team is taking the entire month of March to appreciate and celebrate employees - specifically YOUR employees. Here's one way we're celebrating: I'd like help you send a gift to an employee on your team who might not know - or need reminding of - how important they truly are. Maybe they're a GSD kind of contributor. Maybe they're a beacon of creativity & inspiration. Maybe they're a magnificent motivator, unlocking endless potential. Maybe they're a steady eddy keeping the team calm under pressure. Maybe they're a problem solver, a true solution architect at every turn. Maybe they're a world-class juggler keeping their personal & professional life in harmonious, forward motion. Did anyone come to mind with these prompts? Let's celebrate them. 🥳 Drop a note in the comments below or send me a DM. I'd love know who's making an impact. Together let's help them a taste of just how important they are to you & your team. #employeeappreciationday #employeeappreciationmonth #andyougetagift

🙏 National Employee Appreciation Day 🙏   This day serves as a poignant reminder to managers about the fundamental role of robust employer-employee relations in developing genuine business success. Cultivating a strong rapport with your team is a cornerstone of effective management, and demonstrating appreciation for their contributions can significantly enhance employee morale and satisfaction.   Simple acts of acknowledgment, such as recognising hard work with a sincere smile 😄, kind word or offering small gestures of gratitude 🎁, can have a profound impact on fostering a positive workplace atmosphere.

Jo's commendations, verbal recognitions, seasonal celebrations, and spontaneous gestures of kindness are regularly witnessed by our staff, creating a reciprocal exchange of appreciation between management and employees.   This month, our company enjoyed a memorable outing, treated to a delightful sit-down meal followed by a captivating theatre performance at the Birmingham Hippodrome, where we experienced the amazing Edward Scissorhands. The collective gratitude felt by all staff underscore the significance of such gestures of appreciation. 🎭 😍 Thanks again Jo!   ❓Are you a manager?
