Gratitude in the Workplace: A Key to Success

Mar 6, 20241 min read

Hello, everyone! Today, I want to talk about something close to my heart: the power of gratitude at work.


Expressing Gratitude


It's important to show thanks to our team members regularly, not just on big occasions. The daily efforts everyone puts in are what truly keep us moving forward. So, let's make sure to acknowledge the small but significant contributions.


It's About Them


When thanking someone, think about what they would appreciate the most. A quiet thank you might mean the world to one person, while another might enjoy a bit of public praise. And remember, not everyone likes big gestures; sometimes, a simple day off can be the best way to show appreciation.


Avoiding Negativity Bias


We all tend to remember negative things more than positive ones. If we only pair gratitude with feedback during reviews, the good might be overshadowed by the bad. So, let's ensure we're showing appreciation regularly, not just when offering feedback.


Let's build a culture of gratitude together, recognising and valuing the everyday efforts that make our team great.

Creativity. Passion. Vision.

As someone new to management, I am excited to be leading a team of creative software engineers, testers, designers and tech-writers towards our common goals. My leadership style is defined by transparency and a willingness to work alongside my team members to fully understand their perspectives. Communication is key, and I make sure that all team members are informed about the project’s direction and progress. When not working, you can often find me mountain biking in the trails near my home. It’s a great way to unwind and prepare for new challenges.
