We all want to be appreciated! Sometimes we just need to hear a simple “thank you”, “hey, keep up the good work”, or “we are lucky to have you on our team”. It’s important to hear these words from our loved ones and it is important to hear them in our work world.
However you choose to say it, don’t skip it. Positive feedback makes us feel recognized and appreciated, more confident in our tasks, it identifies what we have done right (and thus gives us a clue to what we should do more of), and it makes negative feedback and constructive criticism easier to accept and integrate.
What are ways you feel appreciated? Share them with us in our safe space and help spark ideas in others. You can also share the ways you aren’t being appreciated and we can talk about steps to take there too!
