The Need for
Appreciation

63% of employees feel underappreciated

Companies with strong recognition programs have a 31% lower voluntary turnover rate. 

Investing in employee appreciation is not just the right thing to do; it’s a strategic move that can significantly impact
your bottom line.

Building a Culture
of Appreciation

Creating a culture of appreciation is an ongoing process that requires commitment and creativity. Here are some key strategies to get you started:  

1Regular Recognition

Make employee recognition a regular practice, not just an annual event. Acknowledge achievements, milestones, and contributions, no matter how small.

2Personalized Appreciation

Tailor your approach to each employee’s preferences. Some might appreciate a public thank-you, while others prefer a handwritten note.

3Meaningful Rewards

Offer rewards that truly resonate with your employees. Think gift cards, experiences, or professional development opportunities.

4Celebrating Milestones

Mark birthdays, work anniversaries, and project completions with thoughtful gestures.

Appreciation in Action

My company has been using BlinkSwag for a few years now and I couldn’t be happier with them! Our employees get great swag for New Hire gifts, Anniversaries, new baby onesies, and event swag! Any hiccups, which rarely happen, are swiftly and easily taken care of. Always a great experience and there is always a friendly person on the other side of the phone/email.
