Happy Employee Appreciation Day to all the incredible humans who power nonprofit organizations and small businesses everywhere! ?? This year, more than ever, I recognize the resilience and dedication employees are showing, especially navigating the unique challenges of the past few months. Today, and every day, let's celebrate our teams! Here are a few ideas for showing appreciation: ?Public Recognition: Shoutouts in team meetings, company newsletters, or social media. ?Peer Recognition: Implement a platform like Bonusly to foster a culture of appreciation and allow colleagues to recognize each other's contributions. ?Gratitude Wall (Physical or Digital): Create a space where team members and supervisors can post messages of thanks and appreciation. ?Personalized Thank You Notes: A handwritten note can mean a lot to someone. ?Professional Development Opportunities: Invest in employees' growth through mentorship, coaching, and training. ?Small Gifts or Treats: A thoughtful gesture can brighten someone's day. ?Extra Time Off: Even a half day can make a big difference. ?Team Building Activities: Fun activities help build camaraderie and boost morale. My favorite teambuilding event I attended this past year was a virtual chocolate tasting event with Cao Chocolates. #EmployeeAppreciationDay #ThankYouTeam #EmployeeRecognition #Bonusly #Gratitude"

Leaders, you're carrying a heavy load, and much of it goes unseen. Emotional management, fostering inclusion, navigating uncertainty – the "invisible work" is real. Huge respect for the leaders I work with who are doing it all. Remember to set boundaries and prioritize your well-being. Thank you, Demetra Moore, PCC, ELI-MP for your insights in this article. #Leadership #InvisibleWork #Wellbeing #EmployeeExperience

As a lifelong learner, I'm excited to add to my skillset by pursuing the SHRM AI + HI (Artificial Intelligence + Human Intelligence) credential as part of my SHRM-SCP certification. ?? We had our first class today, and I learned so much about confidentiality, prompt engineering, and more! This credential focuses on the ethical use of AI and emphasizes the importance of always incorporating a human component in HR practices. My goal is to help nonprofits and small businesses use AI ethically, enabling organizations to gain efficiency so there's more time and energy to focus on mission work, leadership, and human-centered work.????I'm also focusing on how AI can be used to interrupt unconscious bias - for example, resume screening to reduce unconscious bias or to analyzing job descriptions for inclusive language. https://lnkd.in/g4z3RCfu #EthicalAI #SHRMSCP #HumanTouchInHR

Performance reviews are opportunities for growth and development. Here are some ideas for insightful questions to ask when you deliver your next employee review. Asking questions helps to balance self-assessment and giving/receiving feedback, as both are important components of the review. Feedback is a two-way street after all! Employees should drive their own evaluations through self-assessment and inquiry. Supervisors should act as coaches, guides, and mentors to support their team in achieving performance and career goals.
