Employee Appreciation Day!

Everyone’s heard of Boss Appreciation Day, but there aren’t as many who are familiar with Employee Appreciation Day and that needs to end immediately. If you let the 6th pass you by without any particular notice, rectify your mistake by marking the occasion before the end of the month!If you aren’t sure where to begin, consider a few of these great ideas to give your employees the gift of appreciation this month:

The Getaway: A getaway is a great way to boost morale, improve employee relations, and generate synergy amongst your team members. Trip to a tropical island not really in the budget for this year? Take advantage of your knowledge of local venues and hot spots to maximize your budget with a fabulous staycation weekend for your employees that they’ll never forget.
The Gift of Tech: Work can be hard and stressful. Follow the example of a couple of up and coming startups (with rigorous, stressful workloads) and give your employees useful new tech. For example, some companies gifted employees with a Fitbit Charge, a useful gadget for employees in high stress jobs that reminds them to stay healthy and active, especially during high stress times. This is a win-win because employers need their employees to stay healthy. Unhealthy employees are not happy or productive.
Listening, a Gift in Itself: Listen to employee requests and respond whenever possible. For instance, experts are now suggesting that “sitting” at a desk all day is not only uncomfortable for many workers, but can be bad for their health. This has led to the mainstreaming of “standing” desks. Offer your employees the option of sitting or standing at their desks all day with desks that can convert between the two heights to accommodate their personal preference. There’s nothing that says you care like listening and responding to practical suggestions.
