The first Friday in March is National Employee Appreciation Day, a chance to recognise the contribution your temporary and permanent staff make to your business. While it may be tempting to go all out with a catered lunch or one-off celebration, we\u2019d argue the best way to show your employees you care is by implementing long-term solutions that allow them to do their best work. Best of all, it usually doesn\u2019t require a big budget.<\/p>\n

Develop a culture of gratitude<\/h4>\n

Every person working for you wants to feel like they are being noticed and appreciated, so it\u2019s time to start communicating this. Whether it\u2019s a simple thank you, or introducing a section on your company\u2019s intranet that celebrates employee achievements every month, a little recognition goes a long way.<\/p>\n

Trial flexible working<\/h4>\n

Flexible working<\/a> is increasingly becoming a necessity for most employees \u2013 a study by Timewise found that 87% of employees say that they work flexibly or would like to. Therefore, why not trial some sort of flexible working scheme within your business? It could be as simple as offering the chance to come in early so they can leave early, or work from home every now and then. It shows that you trust them to get their work done and recognise that they have a life outside of work.<\/p>\n

Invest in learning<\/h4>\n

Research conducted by totaljobs in 2018 revealed that 9 in 10 employees want their employer to offer more training courses, while 68% of employees have changed jobs because of a lack of learning and development opportunities<\/a>.2<\/sup> Therefore, why not show your employees you care by hosting lunchtime learning sessions, or allowing time during the working week to catch up on training initiatives? Encouraging an ethos of learning will make employees comfortable and enthusiastic about taking control of their career progression<\/a> within the working day.<\/p>\n

These programmes can also help with attracting new talent \u2013 when hiring an executive assistant<\/a> or recruiting a PA<\/a>, offering learning and development opportunities can be a huge plus.<\/p>\n

Allow for internal mobility<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s not just a case for onwards and upwards \u2013 sometimes, employees will look to their company for help in changing careers. For example, an office manager may be looking to move into HR, or a PA might find they are interested in corporate social responsibility. Whatever the shift, you can show support by welcoming this change and providing the resources wherever possible.<\/p>\n

Review your internal communication strategies<\/strong><\/h4>\n

People don\u2019t want to feel excluded from decisions that directly relate to them, <\/strong>so if you haven\u2019t already, now is the time to consider a regular internal communications scheme. Maintaining a transparent approach on business performance, goals and future plans will allow your employees to see how they fit into the grand scheme of things and in return, encourage buy-in. They\u2019ll feel more valued if they know what\u2019s going on, and are given the opportunity to express their wins, concerns or gratitude.<\/p>\n
