Appreciative Teams
Want to create a work environment where people feel seen and acknowledged for the good they are? Psychological safety if the number one driver of workplace performance. Studies have found that employees tend to be more productive when their manager expresses gratitude. They also perform better when their teammates express appreciation, affirmation and respect. Our Appreciative Teams program brings colleagues together to see the good in each other, oftentimes the good that they don’t see in themselves.
What are Appreciative Teams?
The Appreciative Team Campaign supports your team in writing notes of appreciation to their colleagues, and then organizes the sharing of those notes to optimize their impact. Members of your team will receive one note of appreciation from a colleague per day for the duration of your campaign, enhancing their impact and reinforcing the value of regular collection and expression of appreciation.
Culture matters.
There’s a powerful relationship between feeling appreciated and work satisfaction, productivity, and retention. Jump-start a culture of appreciation and acknowledgement with your team. Our Appreciative Teams program works especially well for remote teams. Build on an already healthy work culture, or to begin creating healthier relationships between colleagues.

“Feeling the support of my colleagues made me want to do even more for them. Their feelings of appreciation made me enjoy my job that much more.”
“I was overwhelmed by how thoughtful these were - and how nice it felt to be seen.”
“It's not unusual to receive appreciation for pieces of work, but to receive it more at the whole person level is unique, illuminating, connecting, and encouraging.”
