It’s November, and the ideal time to express your gratitude to your colleagues and staff about what they’ve to help your agency or organization succeed. Below are a few no cost, low cost, and other ways to express your appreciation.
1: Handwritten Thank You Notes
Take a few minutes to craft a handwritten (or at least, a personalized digital) message to your most-valued team members. Tell them how their specific contributions are helping your organization succeed.
2: Shout-Outs During Team Meetings
Carve out some time during your next group meeting to recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of those individuals or teams who have gone above and beyond. Acknowledging them publicly can go a long way in making employees feel more valued.
3: Surprise Treats or Gifts
Show appreciation to employees with thoughtful gestures like bringing in coffee and tea, doughnuts or bagels, mid-afternoon snacks, or even a surprise gift card to say “thank you” for a job well done.
4: Professional Development Opportunities
Reward employees – and invest in their continuing growth – by offering online or offsite training or mentorship opportunities. These are all great ways to express appreciation for their dedication, while also showing your commitment to their professional development.
5: Flexible Work Perks
You can demonstrate your appreciation for employees’ hard work by offering perks like an extra day off, flexible working hours, or remote work options to reward employees for their efforts and commitment.
Of course, you can further reward your employees in December with a holiday party, gift, or a year-end or new year’s bonus. It’s up to you.
