The ROI of Appreciation: How Employee Recognition Programs Impact the Bottom Line

Summer is right around the corner and with it comes the temptation to switch off and tune out of work. As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it can be difficult to stay focused on work tasks and maintain engagement. In fact, according to a study by Captive Network, workplace productivity drops 20% in the summer months.

According to a recent study by Zippia, a whopping 89% of workers have experienced burnout within the past year. That is INSANE, but not surprising. While we all get integrated into the hustle and bustle of American work culture, feeling stressed and overwhelmed is honestly just a norm. The problem? It shouldn’t be.

At the workplace, employee appreciation comes in many shapes and sizes. This is something all managers need to keep in mind, but especially new managers who are leading a team for the first time. While learning the flow of things, getting to know your employees, and basically figuring out the lay of the land, you also need to be thinking about fostering an engaged and positive work culture.
