We hope these team and employee appreciation quote examples have inspired you to use your words to appreciate your employees.

Building empowered, engaged, and inspired teams of employees take more than spreading words of appreciation. It takes leaders with the right attitude and action to create a culture of appreciation.

Recognize and reward early and often.

While it is intuitive that people who are recognized for their work will stay around longer, BI WORLDWIDE’s internal research proves the point. There is a strong correlation between recognition and reward, and a marked reduction in turnover.

Recognize someone once and you make an impact. Turnover among those who receive at least one recognition is 26.2% compared to 43.9% among people who have not received any recognition throughout the six months of our research study.

Recognize that person multiple times and you increase your impact. Employee turnover decreases as frequency of recognitions increases. A 10% reduction in turnover is seen among those who receive very infrequent recognition compared to those who receive much more frequent recognition.

Recognize and reward that person to maximize the impact on turnover. Turnover is 4x higher among employees with the lowest number of recognitions with an award compared to employees receiving the highest number of recognitions with an award

Build a culture of recognition with a program built for you.

A well-designed points-based employee recognition program builds solid relationships through the use of peer-to-peer recognition and manager-to-employee recognition. Our employee recognition program, DayMaker allows employees to earn points for a variety of positive behaviours and redeem motivating and customizable award options from an online, mobile-friendly Merchandise Marketplace — tangible rewards are more impactful than gift cards — and Experiences Marketplace. Mastery Marketplace gives your employees the opportunity to upskill, try something new or dive deeper into their passions.

Using the principles of behavioural economics, DayMaker’s social recognition component brings your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to life in a fun, easy-to-use, employee-centric platform.

We’re already excited for you. Ready to make employee recognition an ongoing part of your company's culture?
