APPRECIOLOGY
The Art & Science of Appreciation
Appreciology is the intentional and systematic use of sincere appreciation to motivate others.
Want to improve your workplace culture?
A recent study by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that employees who feel valued are more likely to report higher job satisfaction, motivation, and engagement.
Yet, half of all employees in the survey do not feel appreciated at work and intend to look for a new job.
The issue here is clear: people who feel undervalued by the organization where they work are less likely to feel engaged and stay on board.
You have the power to change that.
How are you creating a culture of appreciation today?
Notice the impact of appreciation on your organization.
Recognizing individual strengths and talents leads to better performance and morale.
Who are your steady rockstars that often become unsung heroes?
Often our focus shifts on what is going wrong.
Catch people doing something right!
Note the positive effects on performance and morale.
Employees who feel valued and supported can
extend beyond work to a more positive impact on
their families and communities.
Lead by example and empower staff.
Having humility and willingness to walk in every aspect of the job demonstrates appreciation for
those on your team.
Create positive work culture through intentionality and empathy.
Set the right mindset, emulating positive behavior,
and using language that benefits others.
