3 Turnkey Employee Appreciation Gifts

Employee Appreciation Day is March 6th

How will you recognize and appreciate?

In some ways Employee Appreciation Day sounds like any other unofficial holiday such as Valentine’s Day or Squirrel Appreciation Day (yep it’s on Jan 21st). A day created for either commercial gain or fun way to get some social media buzz.

Not the case.

The first Friday in March has been bringing attention to managers, company leadership and HR about the importance of appreciating employees since 1995.

Why do we need a day to encourage small acts of recognition?

Well for one thing over 65% of employees do not feel recognized for their work.

Why is this a problem?

  • 95% of employees agree that recognition in the workplace leads to stronger workplace culture (Happiness Survey)
  • 76% of Millennials say they would leave a company if they felt unappreciated (OfficeTeam Study)
  • Companies with employee recognition programs have 31% lower voluntary turnover (Deloitte)
