As we head into summer—a season when team energy can dip and distractions rise—it’s more important than ever to ensure your people feel seen, valued, and appreciated. In this week’s episode, Jenni Catron breaks down why employee appreciation isn’t just a feel-good bonus—it’s a strategic leadership move that strengthens organizational culture, boosts motivation, and builds trust.

Why this conversation matters now:
According to Gallup, employees who feel recognized are 4x more likely to be engaged. Yet 65% of workers say they haven’t received any form of recognition in the last year (Workhuman & Gallup, 2023). That’s a gap leaders can’t afford to ignore—especially as we enter a season where burnout and disengagement can quietly take hold.

Jenni unpacks:
✅ Why appreciation must become a cultural norm, not a calendar event
✅ No-cost strategies to increase motivation and belonging
✅ Creative ideas like “post-it parties” and gratitude rituals that leaders can start today
✅ How simple gestures—like handwritten notes—can shift the tone of your entire team

Whether you lead five or fifty, this episode will equip you with practical, meaningful ways to build a culture of gratitude—one action at a time.

🎧 Take a listen. Then forward it to a fellow leader who needs the reminder too.
