Your chance to recognise the Good Eggs in your business
Yes, it’s that time of year again – the launch of our much-loved Good Egg Awards. This is your chance to acknowledge all the hard work of your colleagues/clients by nominating them for one of five categories.
Data shows that 79% of people who quit their jobs cite ‘lack of appreciation’ as one of their reasons for leaving. Let that sink in. Statistics also show that employees who feel appreciated are 5 times more likely to stay at their organisation. What does this tell you? We need to appreciate people that we work with more!
People appreciate feeling valued at work because recognition fosters motivation, job satisfaction, and loyalty to the company.
Statistics show that people who feel appreciated and recognised are more likely:
- To be engaged at work
- To work harder and perform better
- To stay at their workplace
- To report higher well-being and lower stress levels
- To develop better relationships between colleagues
Recognising someone for their hard work doesn’t mean expensive gifts, around the world cruises (even though we’re sure nobody would say no!) or spa days, a simple thank you can go a long way. But it’s even better if they receive the Good Egg Awards certificate with your words on it!
First launched in 2018 the Good Egg Awards quickly became a highly anticipated annual campaign. No wonder why! Everyone loves feeling appreciated.
