Which 2 out of 3 employees on your team don’t feel appreciated?

Gallup found that only 1 in 3 employees strongly agree they received recognition in the past week. 

That means most of your team probably doesn’t.


And even when you do give recognition, ask yourself:

  • Is it specific, or just “good job”?
  • Is it based only on what you value (productivity), or what they value (effort, sacrifice, risk management, consensus-building)?

Are you self-assessing whether or not they feel appreciated?

We often give ourselves the benefit of the doubt. 

The real question: how can you ask them, and ensure they’re candid in the response?


Appreciation isn’t a soft skill.

It’s a retention and performance strategy.

Teams that feel seen stay longer, work harder, and contribute more.


Next step:
Audit your last month of feedback.

Who got recognized, for what, and why?

If you can’t answer that clearly, it’s time to change.

I work with CEOs and leadership teams to build cultures where appreciation fuels loyalty and results. Ready to get the most out of your people? Let’s connect.
