5 Languages of Appreciation at Work

Overview

Most employee engagement survey results show that employees do not feel appreciated and feel undervalued. Managers may feel uncomfortable showing appreciation and may not know how to appreciate their employees while truly being authentic. Understanding how people want and need to be appreciated will help leaders and teams more effectively be able to ensure people feel appreciated and valued. Learn the five languages of appreciation and what they look like, the concepts of appreciation and encouragement and discover how important they are in the workplace.
