2024 Employee Appreciation Day

March 1st is Employee Appreciation Day. Recognizing employees by communicating appreciation for their work is a great way to enhance someone’s career wellbeing by helping them feel valued. Appreciation of employees should not just be one day a year but within regular interactions. According to Gallup’s largest study of the future of work, employees revealed that public recognition or acknowledgement is the most memorable form of recognition, followed by private recognition from a boss, peer or customer.
