What if we told you there’s a simple yet powerful way to make your organization so much better? This method improves productivity, decreases employee turnover, fosters cooperation, reduces the number of on-the-job accidents, enhances customer service, and just helps your employees and co-workers to have all-around better attitudes. The secret to all these benefits is appreciation, and it’s the topic Dr. Paul White discusses in this episode.

Dr. White discovered that when you start treating workers as real people, you value them more. But not everyone speaks the same “language” when it comes to appreciation. That’s where The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace comes in, a book detailing the five different ways to truly appreciate others at work. This resource has been used in 60 countries, is published in 25 languages, and can be used by organizations of any size and in any industry. As guest Becky learned, we’re more likely to show appreciation the way each of us feels it, but we’re able to show our appreciation more powerfully knowing someone else’s preferred way of receiving it.

Jim and Martha have used this book and assessment in the past with their employees and love knowing that they’re able to appreciate them in the most effective way. You can listen to the iWork4Him PowerThoughts this week to review each of the five languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Appropriate Physical Touch. https://www.iwork4him.com/powerthought

This episode demonstrates the importance and impact of appreciating those we work with. Each copy of The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace comes with a code for the individual assessment that determines what your languages of appreciation are. It works wonderfully as a training course for HR leaders and direct supervisors. You can also get assessments for your group if you don’t want to use the whole book.
