Today is Employee Appreciation Day. Based on the survey results, I think most of us would actually feel appreciated if we were allowed to work from home today instead of being handed a snack that doesn’t even equal the cost of many people’s daily commute.
When the feedback from employees overwhelmingly centers on flexibility and RTO, it’s hard not to notice the disconnect. Appreciation isn’t pizza, cookies, or swag. It’s listening to what your employees have been consistently asking for.
