Gratitude

In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but the gratefulness that makes us happy.

Albert Clarke

Gratitude is the

forgotten factor in corporate America.
It is not just a feel good emotion.  The U.S. Department of Labor cited a lack of appreciation as the top reason why people in the United States choose to leave their jobs. According to Gallup, 65 percent of people in the U.S. claim they receive no praise or recognition in the workplace — a true statistic that is easily remedied.

When an employee believes their superiors are grateful for their work, they develop an improved sense of worth which leads to performance improvement. Gratitude is interactive and enhances the sense of well-being and goodwill among individuals and groups. Gratitude stimulates citizenship and organizational outcomes including improved work group productivity, enhanced sales team performance, profitability, and efficiency in all operational endeavors.

Cultivating gratitude and showing appreciation is a viable remedy for workplace negativity. When we feel appreciated, we are more positive about ourselves, our office environment, and our ability to contribute. Adding this one ingredient into the workplace can help shift employees to become more motivated, energized and productive.

What can you do to express your gratitude and appreciation more effectively to those around you?

At KGE, we teach effective ways to build gratitude and appreciation into your daily schedule. One of our clients sends e-mails with a compliment or thank you about a job well done to his employee’s desk. Isn’t that an easy thing to do?

KGE builds Gratitude and Appreciation into our Vision Program because we know the outstanding benefits of being grateful.

Effectively applied in the workplace, gratitude impacts job satisfaction, loyalty, and citizenship behavior, while reducing employee turnover and increasing profitability and productivity.

Grateful individuals report higher levels of life satisfaction, optimism, greater energy and connections with other people. The practice of gratitude is the key to reducing stress and consequent related healthcare costs which could bring great dividends. Gratitude is the single most important factor in increasing organizational citizenship and workplace collaboration.
