The Fall season has officially begun, and that means the holiday season is on the horizon. With the hustle and bustle of seasonal events, this is a prime opportunity for company leadership to show their gratitude for their employees who work diligently to help the company achieve its goals. Inflation and other rising costs make it more challenging to effectively show gratitude through financial means. But there are other opportunities for employee recognition! While employees appreciate financial rewards, monetary gifts are not the only way for company leadership to show gratitude. Depending on the financial status of an organization, consider tokens of appreciation in addition or in lieu of financial rewards. Here are ten no-cost or low-cost employee appreciation methods to consider.
Results from a 2023 Pew Research survey show that approximately 56% of working Americans support diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the work environment. DEI promotes problem solving through different perspectives, employee and consumer loyalty, and boosts overall profits. When DEI components are integrated into the work environment, it offers opportunities for co-workers to learn more about the various cultures and traditions that are integral parts of employees’ lives. When employees have a better understanding of each others’ values and cultural upbringing, it can mold the work environment into a more cohesive, team-centered union. With the fall season upon us, here are some ways to incorporate holidays and cultural events into your DEI initiatives.
