Employee Appreciation Day is an event observed on the first Friday in March, meant for employers to give thanks or recognition to their employees. Employee Appreciation Day
First created by Dr. Bob Nelson in 1995, National Employee Appreciation Day was part of his doctoral dissertation on why managers do or do not recognize their employees and has since helped thousands of companies create a culture of recognition in their organization with significant impacts on employee retention, performance and the ability to attract talent.
Humanizing the workplace and developing a culture of recognition can help in building and retaining world class teams. According to research by Workhuman, 73% of remote workers with companies who acknowledged their wins, and celebrated personal life events felt more respected and appreciated compared to companies that did not. With many companies moving towards a hybrid or remote work environment, the employee experience will be a key factor in motivation and productivity.
To celebrate Employee Appreciation day, we’ve put together a list of our top 5 unique employee gifts.
