Summer of Appreciation

With the summer offering us all with slight respite, it’s the perfect opportunity to reflect on the effectiveness of our HR programmes. Our research shows that employees who feel appreciated are 43% more effective and productive, so by ensuring your initiatives foster a culture of appreciation, you could potentially increase your business performance by 5-7%.

To support you in this, we’ve created the Summer of Appreciation Content Hub. Here, you’ll find practical resources to help bridge the appreciation gap in your business and enhance overall performance.
