Appreciation and Gratitude can dramatically improve
your, team and company’s performance. Humans need recognition to reach their
full potential (Maslow). Saying "thank you" increases the likelihood
your employee will not only help you, but help someone else (Adam
Grant and Francesca Gino). Receiving thanks creates strong feelings of social
value, which inspires us to help further. Being thanked for our community
impact also makes us more productive (Adam Grant). In turn, being grateful excites
positive emotions, strengthens social relationships and leads to higher
creativity and productivity.
Effective Appreciation is sincere, timely and
specific, complimenting the process and the results the act produced for the
company and yourself. “The open and collaborative feedback on the client deck
is appreciated! Look forward to continue the collaboration!” Appreciation
Cards are a very quick and easy mechanism to send a
personalized Thank You note to an employee and their manager for living the
MphasiS values. Like a Bitcoin chain, an appreciation note can motivate the
receiver to send a note of their own fostering a Give and Take (Adam Grant)
culture. A critical mass of such notes can like a fission chain reaction cause
an explosive surge of employee engagement and cooperation producing industry
leading results.
Have you helped or appreciated someone today? Just do it and
be delighted. Thank you!
