Thank your team with a summer appreciation day

You’ve heard it before, but it’s worth saying again and again: one of a manager’s most important duties is making sure that employees feel valued. It’s common sense, but it’s also supported by research–happy employees make for more successful companies.

According to a study by the American Psychological Association, “Almost all employees (93 percent) who reported feeling valued said that they are motivated to do their best at work and 88 percent reported feeling engaged. This compares to just 33 percent and 38 percent, respectively, of those who said they do not feel valued.” Employees who feel valued were also more likely to recommend their workplace to others. Staff who didn’t feel the love were also significantly more likely to seek new employment.

Interesting stuff, but nothing you don’t already know intuitively, right? The trickier part is figuring out the best way to show your employees they’re appreciated. Luckily it’s the summer time, and getting your team outside in the gorgeous weather is a no-brainer. Pair the great outdoors with some delicious food and you’ve got a universal crowd pleaser on your hands.
