Make Note of Unsung Heroes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to express gratitude to the highly visible actors in your space. It\u2019s common for the sales team or the customer-facing parties to get shout-outs or Employee-of-the-Month honors. This isn\u2019t to say their work isn\u2019t important\u2014because it is. It\u2019s just that the behind-the-scenes workers are often forgotten, underappreciated, and eye-rolling in the background as others are noted for the work they enabled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, make it a point to express <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/employee-recognition-and-shout-outs\/\">workplace gratitude<\/a> for those behind the scenes. Think outside the box. Whose work is invisible? Who keeps the place running, even though their job may not be the most prestigious or noticeable? You can even send an anonymous survey and ask your team \u201cWho isn\u2019t recognized enough for all they do?\u201d You may be surprised by the answers, and they will be pleasantly surprised when everyone is showing gratitude for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-burst-545065-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1375\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-improve-compensation\">2. Improve Compensation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The absolute best way to show gratitude for your employees is to compensate them accordingly. No amount of company-branded swag, leadership development, or free lunches is going to make them stick around at a job where they are underpaid and underappreciated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly show appreciation for your employees, see what you can do about raises or seasonal bonuses. If your promotion cycle or budget doesn\u2019t allow for it, you can still recognize the employee and begin the process of increasing their compensation with a performance plan or career development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-personal-and-professional-gratitude\">3. Personal AND Professional Gratitude<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/business\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Blog-EmployeeShoutOuts-Island.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2670\" style=\"width:367px;height:421px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In the workplace, we focus on showing gratitude for professional work and accomplishments. It\u2019s obviously important to recognize job performance, but we don\u2019t need to stop there. Your coworkers are people outside of their job descriptions. A great way to express gratitude is to look for non-work-related efforts and impressive characteristics that you can highlight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you might make note of someone\u2019s friendliness, the best chef, the coolest fashion, the funniest date stories, or simply express gratitude for the non-work-related things your coworkers do. Julie in Accounting bringing cookies on Mondays sure isn\u2019t part of her job description, but it\u2019s DEFINITELY appreciated, you know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-naim-benjelloun-2291367-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1376\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-provide-a-meal\">4. Provide a Meal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses have been providing appreciation meals to their employees for as long as we can remember. The way to a person\u2019s heart is through their stomach, as they say. Here\u2019s the thing, though: It\u2019s really easy for this to feel like a very weak attempt at appeasing your workforce.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you truly want to show gratitude in the workplace with food, we recommend you REALLY do it. Get really good catering from a restaurant your employees know and love. Try to avoid potlucks or having employees chip in for the cost, as they feel like they\u2019re paying for your gratitude. While you\u2019re at it\u2014extend their lunch break so they can truly enjoy it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-make-kudoboards-for-each-coworker\">5. Make Kudoboards for Each Coworker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year we LOVE seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/cards\/thank-you-cards\/\">gratitude Kudoboards<\/a>. Maybe we\u2019ve even shed tears over them before, but don\u2019t expect us to admit it. We\u2019ve seen it done really well in two main ways, this one and the next. Let\u2019s start with a Kudoboard for each coworker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many workplaces use Kudoboards as a way to leave, read, and share gratitude for their employees. Simply <a href=\"\/boards\/create\/\">create a Kudoboard<\/a> for each team member with their name at the top, then share the thread of links for each employee. Then your employees can take a few minutes to leave individual messages of appreciation for each of their coworkers and exemplary employee performance. It\u2019s incredibly powerful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/sample\/use-case-thank-you-group-card\"><em>Check out this Kudoboard<\/em><\/a><em> thanking their office Fantasy Football Commissioner for setting up the league every year<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-general-gratitude-kudoboard\">6. General Gratitude Kudoboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The other effective way to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\">Kudoboard<\/a> for workplace gratitude is to create a general <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/uses\/cards\/thank-you-cards\">gratitude Kudoboard<\/a>. You\u2019ll start by creating a Kudoboard, then invite everyone to leave a note about what they\u2019re grateful for this year. (We recommend that you encourage pictures\u2014it\u2019s amazing!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone benefits from this gratitude practice and the mindfulness that comes with it. Plus it\u2019s fun to see what everyone feels most grateful for this year, especially when they share photos or videos of it! It\u2019s a great thing to <a href=\"\/slideshow\">display via slideshow<\/a> during an office party or meeting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-show-appreciation-for-customers\">7. Show Appreciation for Customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>November is the perfect time to show appreciation for your customers. Customer retention is important, especially for small businesses. Showing your customers that you are thinking about them can go a long way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A useful gift that is relevant to your industry is great (just steer clear of useless branding plugs, like fridge magnets. woof!). If you need to keep the budget minimal, a discount or freebie included with the purchase is an easy way to show gratitude. Another free way to show your customers some love is to give them shoutouts on your social media, a customer hall of fame wall in your business, or just to have your employees personally call and thank their customer accounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-offer-gratitude-for-vendors-suppliers-and-support-teams\">8. Offer Gratitude to Vendors, Suppliers, and Support Teams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Expressing gratitude is restorative. As you begin practicing gratitude in the workplace, you\u2019ll notice it becomes easier and easier. You\u2019ll find more and more things to be grateful for, including every supporting actor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your suppliers, vendors, building management, and any other support staff that helps your business succeed are deserving of your gratitude, and your entire team can come together to thank them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-monstera-5876688-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1377\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-give-a-thank-you-gift\">9. Give a Thank you Gift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re not reinventing the wheel here, but a tangible gift is an easy way to show appreciation in the workplace. Whether it\u2019s a boss getting something for their team, a department chipping in to get something for a meaningful team lead, or the company providing a thank-you gift for their employees, Thanksgiving can be the perfect time (Christmas will be hectic and flooded with gifts!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some workplaces provide their employees with a turkey or Honeybaked Ham as a thank you, which is useful and festive. Perhaps you give a gift card or some extra DoorDash budget. Be careful with company-branded items, as employees may not actually appreciate or use them (looking at you, company keychain).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-give-back-together\">10. Give Back Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The holiday season is full of giving, and it\u2019s a time to think about others. Providing service and charity work together is an excellent way to spend meaningful time with your coworkers and boost workplace engagement. A food drive or fundraiser is easy to set up, or you can find fun activities to do together, such as creating kits for refugees or shelters.&nbsp;Talk to your employee resource group or start your own that focuses on positive emotion and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best idea for giving back together is to give to someone within your community. If your workplace has someone facing a serious illness, you might raise money for their medical expenses or make a donation to a relevant illness-fighting foundation. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/c0569084a1ec40d09793218621b9e85a\">stories like this one<\/a>, where coworkers banded together to buy a car for a fellow employee who was walking 12 miles home from work every day. What an incredible way to connect and express appreciation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-thankful-season\">A Thankful Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you take some time this November to think about all you have to be thankful for and try to express it. Gratitude in the workplace can make all the difference for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kudoboard.com\/benefits\/easily-celebrate-people\/\">workplace culture and employee satisfaction<\/a>, as well as strengthening relationships with coworkers and customers. And at Kudoboard we\u2019d like to say that we are thankful for YOU. Happy November!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello November!
