Creative Ways to Show Employee Appreciation

Employee Appreciation Day is just around the corner, so thanking your employees should be at the top of your March to-do list. Finding creative ways to reward your employees will show them that their hard work is both noticed and appreciated.

Set up a staff recognition wall

Thanking your employees shouldn’t just happen on Employee Appreciation Day. Setting up a staff recognition wall is a great way to showcase hard work all year.

Set up a bulletin board in a high-traffic area where employees can write and display thank-you notes to other team members. At the end of each month, choose a thank you note at random and reward the recipient for going above and beyond.

Additional benefits of a recognition wall include improved employee morale and a positive work environment.

Make employee appreciation self-care kits

Your hosts, waiters, bartenders, and kitchen staff all have different responsibilities, but there’s one thing that all of your employees have in common — they work on their feet.

Thanking your staff with DIY self-care kits will help them kick back and relax after a long shift. Some self-care items include tea, coffee, chocolate, mugs, candles, bath salts, and fuzzy socks.

Revamp your break room

If you want to take thanking your staff to the next level, consider revamping your break room. Get started by asking your employees to come up with a list of ideas and have a vote-off.

Feeling limited due to budget constraints? Luckily, you don’t have to spend a fortune to show employee appreciation. Creative ways to remodel your break room on a budget include adding comfortable seating, stocking up on special drinks and snacks, and redecorating.

With Employee Appreciation Day around the corner, now is a great time to prioritize thanking your employees. Finding creative ways to show your appreciation will tell your employees that you genuinely value them.
