"Motivating employees to work at their full potential is the main premise of successful management." - Eraldo Banovac.

This saying highlights how important employee appreciation is. Employee appreciation shows recognition and thankfulness for employees. Appreciation can be expressed through cards, work anniversary celebrations, team meetings and company kick-off days. However you do it, genuine appreciation of a colleague is motivating and strengthens team bonds. 

Although Employee Appreciation Day is ‘officially’ on March 3rd, appreciation should be shown and shared whenever it is deserved. The main aim of the team appreciating a colleague is to show them how valued they are and recognise important contributions to the success of the organisation.

A lack of appreciation impacts individuals and the company. During the past two years, COVID-19 has affected all workplaces and work practices. With more remote working it has never been more important to show appreciation and keep employees engaged.

It is also the case that online, or virtual, group cards have enabled teams to easily share their thoughts with any team member deserving of appreciation.

What to write though? This can be a challenge for many, so here are some suggestions for when to show appreciation and a list of:
