Words of appreciation
No promotions, no bonuses, no pay rises.
More workload, more stress, more anxiety.
Business down, jobs down, morale down.
This is the time, more than ever before to properly recognise and acknowledge the sacrifices that everyone has made. A mere “thank you for your contribution” is ok but it is also meh...
To win hearts and mind would be to acknowledge their specific contribution and sacrifices.
“The last few months have been an incredibly challenging months. But in that time you have shown resilience, generosity of spirit and personal leadership.
I have seen the calm and steady manner by which you brought together your stakeholders to navigate uncertainty and the reassurance they felt.
I have heard from those you worked with how much you have cared for them and how you continue to work with them to develop their skills.
This has made a difference not only to them but also to the company.
Thank you!
