One thing we have learned over the years as a company is that it is important, time and again, to keep your employees happy and to really show your appreciation for everything they do for the company. So how can you continue to keep morale up at the office and show your employees just how much you care about them and their well-being? Here are some tips to let every employee know just how much they are valued at the office:

• Say ‘Thank You’ – This may seem obvious to some of you but the truth is, not everyone gets the simple thank you that they deserve. Whether the jobs your employees are doing are big or small, simply acknowledging what they did with a genuine thanks can go a long way. This shows employees that you are paying attention to what they are doing and you appreciate all the work they put in.
• Ask Genuine Questions – While it is important to have one-on-one meetings with each employee to discuss their work and any ways they can improve, also make time to just talk with your employees about their lives. Asking each about their family, their hopes and dreams, and their goals in life can really allow for a trusting relationship between yourself and your employees.
• Flexible Schedules – If this is feasible around holidays, try to be as flexible as possible when planning schedules for your employees.
• Employee Events/Gifts – Every once in a while, plan an employee event or day away from the office so employees can enjoy a little free time. When you can, giving gifts is always a way to show your appreciation, and at American Wear we would even suggest giving uniforms to each employee. You don’t have to wait for holidays to give gifts, so when you feel the workplace is in need of a little pick-me-up or just had an amazing quarter, go ahead and give your employees something they can smile about.

Remember to always show your appreciation to each employee because that will make for a happy and healthy workplace.
