Two-Thirds of Workers Don't Feel Appreciated
Published Date: 01/02/2010
Does your organization encourage a culture of gratitude?
Not in an obligatory (and fear-tinged) "In this economy you'd better be grateful just to have a job, buddy" way, but in an "I really appreciate my co-workers and the feeling is mutual" way. Chances are the answer is no. According to a recent Gallup poll, 65% of people say they don't feel appreciated at work. And that feeling quickly leads to pervasive negativity, low morale and (worst of all) decreased productivity.
Author Liz Jazwiec says it doesn't have to be this way. Companies can deliberately infuse their cultures, from top to bottom, with an "attitude of gratitude." In fact, those who don't put gratitude on a pedestal, especially in today's high-stress work environments, are shooting themselves in the foot.
