What is Employee Appreciation Day?
Although Employee Appreciation Day was only established back in 1995, it’s become a key date for employees across a whole host of industries in Canada, the US and the UK. It’s a chance to celebrate employee achievements as well as contributions, and a great opportunity to promote a culture of continuous recognition in your workplace.
Why do we celebrate saying thank you?
A healthy, open appreciation of your staff has transformed from a nice-to-have into a business critical objective for most people teams in recent years. Recent research indicates that when employees feel appreciated, they are less likely to experience burnout and negative effects on their mental health.
How to measure the impact of Employee Appreciation Day ?
You can track changes in employee satisfaction through surveys or pulse checks before and after the event. Look for improvements in team morale, engagement, or positive feedback in regular reviews. With Huggg's reactions dashboard, you can view real-time responses from your employees and measure the success of your recognition efforts.
