The director of business development, Frank Creighton at Appreciate Business Services, home of Love2shop, UK’s leading rewards and incentives specialists, asserts that the day has an exciting role to play in inspiring all-year-round recognition.
In his words: “As the world marks 24 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing, and unprecedented economic pressures, organizations have a unique opportunity to thank employees who rose to the challenge during this time and continue to do so.
“A definitive day of appreciation for the efforts made all year round by employees who have weathered the storms of remote, hybrid, or frontline work is a great opportunity to create unity and connection. As many organizations plan ahead for a fresh, new financial year in April, celebrating and reflecting on employees’ contributions in March can steer a fresh perspective and add to progressive work culture.
”A simple thank-you, he stresses, can make all the difference – anything from a surprise gift, such as a gift card or voucher to spend as they wish, to a work anniversary day off to recognize their hard work.
Employee Appreciation Day is a day of delight recorded in the history of the UK for all employees in every sector.
