8 ways to quickly celebrate Employee Appreciation Day

Recognition always helps in boosting your employees’ performance as they can see you are noticing and celebrating their successes. Recognition works when it’s positive, immediate and certain. It makes the biggest impact when it’s given regularly and when it is absolutely sincere.

Here’s a quick list of 8 ways to celebrate Employee Appreciation Day:

1. A cup of coffee for your performing employee ,the way they like it with a “Thank you” on the outside of the cup in marker or better still, on the coffee with creamer.
2. Buy some bakery stuff/snacks. A good option is doughnuts or cupcakes or even samosas.
3. Write a thank you note in your best handwriting with the specifics of the contribution.
4. Saying “thanks” in public would help make them feel praised and proud.
5. Give some free time like allowing employees to go for team offsite, lunch outings or enjoy an extra day of vacation.
6. Give Certificates of Appreciation to everyone on the team with thoughtful comments about each person, such as: “Least likely to be rattled by a stressful day” or “Most willing to help a colleague in need” can help make their day.
7. Treat your team to a pizza party at work.
8. Start a series of Lunch & Learn weekly lunches with employees and engage in conversations. You will be amazed by the great ideas your employees have if you listen to them.

It is essential you keep a tab on the achievements of your employees all year round and work out a well-communicated plan to recognise your employees. This always works.
