Employees are the most valuable resource at any company\u2019s disposal. When utilized correctly, workers are more than tools for productivity. They can influence innovation, create a positive culture, and provide a competitive edge. The last couple of years has made it clear that many organizations are failing to show workers how valuable they are.<\/p>\n

This is most evident in the rise of the Great Resignation. Workers across the world are leaving jobs with companies they feel aren\u2019t showing the respect and support they deserve. The solution to this issue doesn\u2019t solely lie with improving pay, though that is an important element. Rather, organizations must be more proactive and ensure they treat their workers in a way that reflects their importance.<\/p>\n

So, can robust employee appreciation slow down the Great Resignation? Possibly, but as with so many other things, it depends on the company\u2019s approach to the process. Let\u2019s explore this idea a little further.<\/p>\n

Understand the Impact of Appreciation<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s crucial to understand what it is about employee appreciation that affects workers\u2019 experiences. After all, if we look at the key influencers of the Great Resignation, many of them relate to experiences of being employed by a business. These include flexibility, pay rates, recognition, shared values, and employer support. Simply put, you need to understand how appreciation programs can influence these experiences. Then, you\u2019ll be better able to adjust your practices.<\/p>\n

The mistake too many businesses make is thinking appreciation is a simple reward for performance. This plays a role, but it isn\u2019t the be-all and end-all. If your workers\u2019 motivations to be productive are only driven by tangible rewards, their performance can be disrupted quickly. However, a robust appreciation program that improves various aspects of employees\u2019 lives can have a profound impact on their relationship with your business.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth considering the neuroscience behind employee appreciation in this regard. When people experience gratitude, regions of the brain are activated that improve sleep quality<\/a> and aid stress regulation. It also helps workers to better manage depression and anxiety. This means that regular and genuine displays of appreciation have a tangible impact on workers\u2019 quality of life. It can also help you and your employees prevent burnout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prioritize Authenticity in Your Approach<\/h4>\n

Authenticity is key when it comes to creating a robust appreciation program for your employees. Too often, businesses utilize generic rewards that don\u2019t reflect the achievements or the employee involved. This sends a distinct message about how much genuine consideration or care the company has for its employees. Over time, the lack of authentic appreciation may influence decisions employees make about their careers.<\/p>\n

To improve retention and combat the impacts of the Great Resignation, prioritize authenticity in your appreciation program. Wherever possible, individualize your approach to rewards. Human resources (HR) departments can work alongside line managers to better understand the interests and priorities of workers on different teams. You can use this data to tailor rewards so they\u2019re unique and meaningful for each employee.<\/p>\n

These gifts don\u2019t necessarily have to be limited to gift cards to favorite restaurants. They can be both practical and unique. Creating gift baskets for employees<\/a> that contain water bottles, wellness items, and gift cards also allows you to give practical tokens of appreciation. Rewards can also involve providing additional paid time off to those with families or business resources for workers with entrepreneurial ambitions.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to take steps to ensure these items are appropriate for the person receiving them. Take note of workers\u2019 personal ethics and preferences, and ensure you only give gifts that meet these standards. This helps to demonstrate that, even in your appreciation efforts, your values align with those of your workers.<\/p>\n

Recognize the Practical Applications<\/h4>\n

You can make a case that robust employee appreciation can slow the Great Resignation. But it\u2019s also important to understand that your program can have a positive impact on other areas that influence employee retention. Appreciation can be a practical tool that both bolsters the efficacy of your business and creates an environment employees want to be a part of.<\/p>\n

The data gathered by appreciation programs can provide assessment metrics. Work performance evaluations are vital tools<\/a> for businesses and employees alike. They help everyone to gain clarity on how effectively duties are being performed and what goals need to be targeted. It also helps workers and employers collaborate on improving conditions to meet these objectives. Appreciation programs can be used to discuss what tasks the employee is performing well in. Managers can then use it to help incentivize the next level of performance, rather than focusing negatively on areas where workers are less successful.<\/p>\n

Appreciation programs can also open discussions about your company culture<\/a>. Following awards, celebrations, or project conclusions, appreciation programs can provide workers with a forum to express their feelings about the feedback they\u2019ve received. Send out surveys or anonymous forums to solicit feedback on how effective the rewards are or how management attitudes reflect on what employees want from the company culture. This can also help employees get more involved in creating a business they want to work for long term.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h4>\n

While the Great Resignation has a range of influences, a robust employee appreciation program can play a role in addressing it. However, this is dependent on businesses creating strategies that boost the employee experience in meaningful ways. It\u2019s also important to utilize these programs as practical tools that can extend their positive impact in less direct ways than simple motivational rewards.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, your business has the power to improve retention by treating workers with the value they deserve.<\/p>\n
