In the spirit of Thanksgiving, and as the Holiday Season approaches, I would like to take this time to thank my staff and clients for a great year!
I would like to sincerely thank my clients for your continued partnership and to congratulate you for staying so focused on your goals. Thank you for being an advocate for your company employees, channel partners, and keeping your corporate vision top of mind.
This is a great time of year to recognize and thank each of your staff members for the things they do well. It is also a good time to recognize the outstanding and innovative energy they put into your company. Appreciate your staff with recognition.
I recently reviewed the McKinsey Quarterly Survey (June 2009) which stated three non-cash motivators – praise from immediate managers, leadership attention, and the chance to lead important projects – are viewed as motivational as the highest rated financial incentives – cash bonuses, increases in base pay, and stock options. These findings show how powerful non-cash recognition is, and it’s as simple as saying thank you!
This Holiday Season, thank your team for their hard work and diligent efforts. Showing appreciation will play a critical role in making your employees feel that you value them, take their well-being seriously, and strive to create opportunities for their career growth.
What are you doing to show appreciation within your organization?
We have had a great year and are looking forward to an even better 2010!
Thank you!
