An example I’ve seen is to highlight employees who go above and beyond with peer recognition tools. Spotlight awards that employees can give to each other throughout the year.

Cultivate a culture of gratitude by: -Leading by example: Offer praise, acknowledge achievements, and appreciate efforts. -Encouraging feedback: Actively seek and value honest input. -Fostering a giving spirit: Provide opportunities for community involvement and empathy. -Celebrating impact: Recognize and reward acts of kindness and service. These actions promote a workplace where appreciation, empathy, and a sense of purpose thrive.

Make it a habit to thank your teams if they have gone over and above. Schedule time once a week to send e-cards to your team. Offer the gift of time in the form of coffee catch ups to junior team members Take time to nominate teams/individuals for company awards on formal recognition platforms Provide experiences as a way to express thanks or to high performing individuals Most important, lead by example!

Building a culture of gratitude starts with understanding people’s motivation, passion and strength and launch from there. Believing in the power of gratitude to the universe and willingness to fail and learn together. Live with purpose!

Empowering individuals to take leadership roles on projects and challenge opportunities. Allow them to flex their skills and include their peers to accomplish tasks—to succeed and grow.
