Prince of Travel’s Post

Friday 1st March is not just the first official day of Spring, but it's also Employee Appreciation Day. New Dawn Resources Ltd is officially 15 years old this year, and to kick off the celebrations the team visited London for the weekend. It was a great excuse to experience all that London offers, coupled with shopping and building team morale. We could not have reached this milestone without our dedicated team, so every year we plan an event to say thank you.   Appreciation comes in many forms, but we believe that these events make for a stronger team, while creating new collective memories. During busy times we often forget to say thank you.  So why not use today to acknowledge your teams and employees, it really can make a difference. #humanresources #hr #appreciationday #appreciationmatters #workforcemanagement #teambuilding #businessowners #hrbusinesspartner #outsourcedhr

Today, the 1st of March, marks National Employee Appreciation Day! Today is a perfect opportunity to recognise and celebrate the hard work and dedication of your team members. But let's not forget, that appreciation shouldn't be confined to just one day out of the year. It's something that should be woven into the fabric of your workplace culture every single day. Research, like that outlined in a Harvard Business Review article, consistently shows that positive work cultures are not only more enjoyable to be a part of, but they're also more productive. Employees who feel valued and appreciated tend to be more engaged, motivated, and committed to their work. This ultimately leads to higher levels of performance and overall organisational success. So, as we take a moment to celebrate National Employee Appreciation Day, let's also reflect on how we can cultivate a culture of appreciation and positivity all year round. Here are a few ideas to get started: - Team outings, activities or volunteering days - Flexible work options and benefits - Recognition programmes - Public praise #employeeappreciationday #workplaceculture #corporatehealth #workplacewellness #LifelinkWorkwell

Focusing on employee values and well-being directly translates to stronger retention, thus mitigating turnover costs, and preserving resources for growth rather than recruitment. #retention #hospitalitytech #employeeretention

We placed, first time!! This year Ramboll entered and have been included in the prestigious Sunday Times Best Places to Work, 2024! 800 plus of our people in the UK responded to the survey and, without suggesting that we get things right all the time, I am blown away by their responses, which show us as being way above workplace averages. Here are our scores from the survey’s ‘Six steps to workplace happiness’ as expressed in the breakdown we received (including the ’Excellent!’ categorisation below): ⭐ Reward and recognition – 82% (Excellent!) ⭐Information sharing – 85% (Excellent!) ⭐Empowerment – 87% (Excellent!) ⭐Wellbeing – 84% (Excellent!) ⭐Instilling pride – 88% (Excellent!) ⭐Job satisfaction – 87% (Excellent!) Other highlights include ‘I am treated with respect' (91% agree); 'My company treats environmental sustainability as a priority and backs this with action' (94% agree) and ‘My company cares about diversity and inclusion' (92% agree). What does it take to achieve this?  In my experience it takes empowering a group of people who care about each other and their work, to co-create an environment where we have the best chance of workplace happiness. It takes everyone, and many big and small initiatives and considerations and changes that collectively add up to being a great place to work. It also means that we need to keep working to sustain these results, and where needed, improve. A massive thank-you to all the wonderful people that make up Ramboll and make it the exceptional organisation it is.

In hospitality, our teams excel when communication, trust, and respect form the foundation of our relationships. Managing employee relations goes beyond conflict resolution—it involves fostering a culture where everyone feels valued, motivated, and aligned with the company’s vision. Key practices include: ✨ Open communication ✨ Proactive conflict resolution ✨ Emphasis on development and recognition Remember, happy employees contribute to outstanding guest experiences! #EmployeeRelations #HospitalityLeadership #HRinHospitality #PeopleFirst

A Culture of Appreciation and Engagement In today's fast-paced business world, keeping employees engaged is more important than ever. Beyond competitive salaries and benefits, what truly makes a difference is fostering a positive work environment where employees feel valued and appreciated. See below some of our employees telling us why they love working in the Newpark Hotel Kilkenny with Escape Health Club & Spa Here in the Newpark Hotel our People and Culture Manger Mary O Neill and our Human Resources Administrator Alice Macauley focus on creating environments where people want to stay and grow. The more we invest in appreciation, the more we’ll retain the talent that drives our success. Employee appreciation isn’t just about a pat on the back—it’s about creating a culture where people feel connected to their work and the company’s goals. When team members are recognised for their contributions, it not only boosts morale but also enhances productivity and loyalty. At the heart of retention is engagement. Engaged employees are more likely to bring their best to work, contribute creatively and stay with the company longer. It’s the little things—a thoughtful acknowledgment, an opportunity for growth or simply ensuring a healthy work-life balance—that build a thriving workplace. #EmployeeEngagement #Appreciation #Retention #WorkplaceCulture #Leadership

I spent many years working in hospitality and leading the HR function. A large part of my responsibility was ensuring employee satisfaction and the delivery of our culture of “people first” was present at all our hotels and restaurants. The key to this was creating solid alignment with our foundational principles, values, and mission. Wherever there was a misalignment or breakdown in that delivery we had unhappy and disengaged people.   In saying we had a culture of ‘people first” we promised that we cared about our people and what was important to them. However, if we only focused on how well they did their job the result was always discontent and high turnover. Those who lead organizations know well the impact of an unhappy team; the repercussions extend beyond mere financial costs and permeate through the organization's culture, affecting the successful delivery of products or services.   The key is ensuring that people know that they matter and that what they do makes a difference. It’s really that simple. A whole world of possibility for everyone exists there. Get your arms around your people and help them to make the difference they are committed to making, and they will be highly engaged and powerful allies.   ___ [Source: https://lnkd.in/er6hAGi7] #brendamcgregor #gallup #career #workplace #motivation
