Today is National Employee Appreciation Day 🩵
There are so many different things we can engage teams, but I will always be a strong believer that to have grattitude & appreciation for each other in the workplace is the most powerful way to achieve this.
I've been blessed in my career so far to be surrounded by a lot of leaders that demonstrate genuine concern and compassion, and I know I'm one of the lucky ones. Here are some of the things that I've learned over time:
✨️ The 'can I just have 5 minutes' are important. Try to make the time.
✨️ Remember the small things, the birthdays, favourite foods, and childrens names. People have a whole entire life outside of work, and taking the time to get to know someone will always provide a stronger relationship longterm.
✨️ Listen & hear the feedback. Let's be honest it's not always easy to hear. It can hurt, but providing a space where feedback can always be heard and genuinely taken on board, will build trust. Trust is everything.
✨️ Celebrate the wins & embrace the learnings always. Nothing brings a team together more than winning & recognition is key, however peoples efforts in the tougher times also matter. Without failure, there are no learnings.
I am so privileged that I get to spend my everyday partnering with our Global Stores function at Sweaty Betty which truly brings me nothing but joy. So this post is for you, we appreciate you Team Retail ❤️
Happy Weekend Everyone!
