Diana resides in Fort Collins, Colorado with her husband and two sons and her life motto is "Live a life of adventure while making the world a better place." If the Great Resignation has taught us anything, it's that employees today expect more in the workplace. They expect to be treated like a human being or else they quit. Organizations struggling to keep talent are most likely underestimating the power of appreciation. Research shows that when employees feel appreciated in the workplace, employee engagement goes up which leads to increased morale, productivity and retention. The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace is a proven method for developing positive workplace relationships and making individuals feel valued by their peers and by their leaders. Teams can better fill each other’s appreciation tanks when they know which language of appreciation speaks to a specific individual. The reality is most people have never been trained to show appreciation well which is why most people don't do it well. I'm here to change that! ABOUT BIG SKY FRANCHISE TEAM:This episode is powered by Big Sky Franchise Team.
