Saying thank you has absolutely no financial cost, yet it generates significant returns for your organization in reputation, employee satisfaction, and output. We're loving this article by Thrive Global on the power of a simple "thank you". At IC Thrive we have a public recognition wall on our internal intranet where colleagues and managers alike can give individuals a shout-out for large projects, small tasks or even just a "thanks for your support". We've personally felt... how this shapes our workplace culture for the better. Are you expressing gratitude in the workplace? https://thriveglobal.com//improve-managerial-skills-grati/ #InspirationAtWork

The goal is to group people who have similar priorities, values, and interests. The most common groupings are demographic, attitudinal, environmental, o...r departmental (we’re in a working environment, after all).
