It’s Employee Appreciation Day – and I have mixed feelings.
Much like “Blue Monday”, the day was invented for commercial reasons: specifically, to sell a book.
On one hand, I take issue with trivialising something so important; appreciating employees.
On the other – much like Blue Monday – if it starts conversations and, more importantly, actions that lead to greater appreciation for employees, then I can be converted.
I can get behind that. Every day.
Today will see pizzas and doughnuts and e-cards and claps.
How will we keep this momentum on Monday? On Tuesday? On Wednesday?
How is it tied to your strategy and given as much consideration as every other differentiator in your business?
Let’s make that difference.
