👉 Reminder 👈 Instead of "human resources," think "human treasures." We know that appreciating each other at work adds value to the bottom line. It isn’t just for altruistic purposes, it can actually help with productivity, effectiveness, and focus. Even though high-performance teams organically have appreciation woven through their culture, the “culture of busyness” is also prevalent. We have a deliberate day set aside to celebrate employees. While Boss’s Day is October 16th….Employee Appreciation Day is coming up – March 1st. This annual observance acts as a dedicated and deliberate moment for organizations to openly acknowledge and reward the hard work, dedication, and achievements of their employees. 😀 Ultimately, celebrating this day is not just about the gestures of appreciation themselves but about building a sustained environment of mutual respect and gratitude that enriches the workplace year-round. Invest in your employees, and the ROI will be measured in loyalty, productivity, and an unbeatable company culture. 🌟

As a Talent specialist we get so used to welcoming people to our teams, celebrating work anniversaries of others, and managing disappointment when it is time for those in our company to move on and explore other opportunities, that we sometimes forget our own milestones and miss an opportunity to reflect on them. This April marks my 7-year anniversary with Prescient, and what a journey it has been. I am humbled and happy to work with the amazing people that I do. One of our leaders recently shared an article which spoke about the concept of 𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑜𝑤𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝 and just how powerful that can be. It refers to a deep commitment and connection to the organisation, a psychological ownership, beyond just a financial investment. This is a concept I am keen to explore further as I am sure there is much written about this in organisational psychology research, however for now what stood out for me is the impact this has on 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧t and 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 and specifically my emotional engagement. At Prescient we have such a powerful purpose, such a strong strategic vision and plan and such a strong sense of alignment through our shared values that I know this is the right place to be. I know it is a journey, and there is much to accomplish, but for now I will take some time out and reflect on the past 7 years - the steps we have taken to move forward, the comfort in the consistency of what keeps us connected - and take some baby steps at planning the next 7.  #organisationalpsychology #employeeengagement #milestones #purpose

A few times in the year, we pause to recognize that "people are the organization." Today, on #EmployeeAppreciationDay, we celebrate the heartbeat of any company—the incredible people who play their part, however small, in building organizations. Yet, why is this recognition confined to just a day or two, in many organizations, is a question that baffles me. And NO! birthdays and work anniversaries are not appreciation. People are the driving force behind any company's success and we owe them more than that. So, here's to all my colleagues and connections, thank you for your tireless efforts, creativity, and resilience. Let's celebrate each other - not just today, but every day! #employeeappreciationday #workculture #employeeengagement

Many businesses celebrate employee appreciation, and one of my favorite traditions was sending handwritten notes to my team ✍️. Those heartfelt messages have left a lasting impact, and I still revisit the ones I've received when I need a boost of inspiration 💌. But as a "solo-preneur," there isn’t a designated day to celebrate our efforts. Often, the only one cheering me on is me 🎉. So today, I made a sign to commemorate a milestone—five sales 🛠️. A little dorky, yes. It might not seem like much, but I know the journey it represents, full of ups, downs, curves, and detours 🛣️. The secret to staying motivated is simple: find something to celebrate EVERY DAY, even if it's just making it through and living to fight another day 💪. When the going gets tough, take a moment to list all you've accomplished and how far you've come 📝. Or, create a sign that reminds you: YOU ARE AMAZING! 🌟 Celebrate the small victories, because they’re the stepping stones to the big ones 🏆.

Their efforts are instrumental in our achievements, and it's crucial to ensure they feel recognised and valued.   A big thank you to the Full Potential team.

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
