NORTHLINK: Why is appreciation important in the workplace?

Appreciation has a significant impact on both employees and leaders in cultivating a productive working environment. It comes in various forms: verbal recognition of a job well done, celebration of wins, and nomination for the rewards program.  It helps boost the morale of the team, elevate performance, and demonstrate affirmation that people are doing the right thing.

Appreciation helps build trust and confidence in the workplace.  It enhances open communication and creates an empowering work environment where all team members feel motivated to perform at their best.
