The November Monthly Digest

Who are you grateful for in your life?

Feeling valued and respected at work boosts psychological health and reduces stress.?

93% of employees say having a job where they feel their work has meaning is important (Source: The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being, 2022)

Yet, 29% of workers feel like they don’t matter to their employer.?

With Thanksgiving around the corner in the U.S., it’s the perfect time to reflect and share gratitude. Here’s how you can ensure your team feels valued:

  • Connect contributions to your organization’s mission. ??
  • Recognize achievements publicly. ??
  • Encourage participation in gratitude-sharing activities (hint: we’ve got one below! ??).

Simply put: If you’re grateful for someone at work, let them know!
