It can work wonders when it comes to lifting morale, helping people feel more connected to the Co-op and motivating colleagues to want to do more for others and themselves. It’s not rocket science but it works!
From a business view, recognition improves engagement, and engagement improves productivity – so it’s a win-win for the Co-op. But from a personal point of view, think about the last time you were thanked. How did it make you feel? Saying those simple two words makes such a difference and when you’re specific with your thank you and when you reinforce it with our Ways of Being, it can have an even bigger impact.
You can send another colleague a digital thank-you card for a job well done or just for Being Co-op – doing what matters most; showing we care; being ourselves and succeeding together.
We have put together some training resources for leaders and managers, which can be found here.
