In today’s fast-paced work environment, it’s easy to get caught up in deadlines, targets, and the daily grind. But sometimes, amidst the hustle, we forget something crucial: appreciation.
In the end people matter – hence one of our key values at Etlia is “We appreciate people”. Naturally this value encompasses all the essentials such as appreciating people irrespective of race, sex, religion, cultural background and age. But appreciation is much more than that: taking the time to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of our colleagues is essential for building a positive, thriving workplace.
Why Appreciation Matters?
Appreciation isn’t just a feel-good nicety; it has a tangible impact on our work lives. Studies show that employees who feel valued are:
- More engaged: When we feel our efforts are recognized, we’re more likely to go the extra mile and be invested in our work.
- More productive: Appreciation fosters a sense of purpose and motivation, leading to increased productivity.
- More collaborative: When appreciation is expressed, teams feel a sense of unity and are more likely to work together effectively.
- Less likely to leave: Feeling valued contributes to employee satisfaction and retention, reducing turnover.
