We are Zoomed out. It has been a trying year for most. A loss in patience, enthusiasm, and optimism. And depending on the pandemic’s impact on your industry, workers have been challenged, either with the uncertainty or for others who are frontline, a new set of obstacles and realities, added responsibilities, and increased risk.
A small gesture may go a long way to help your employees. A short hand-written note. It does wonders for the person receiving it, as it does for the person giving it. Research indicates increases in productivity by as much as 20% and employees feeling valued and appreciated. It does not only need to be an employee. It can be someone who continues to show up for you everyday, and makes your life lighter or better because of their contribution.
While a thank you and appreciation are always welcome, as we slowly edge back to a more stable environment, this is the perfect time to show a little appreciation. All it takes is just two handwritten lines. Who will you be giving a little boost to today? And won’t you feel good?
