Fantastic "thanks" ideas. It's really important to for biz's to remember their employees and say thanks to them. Your workers really like to know that they're work is appreciated and that what they do isn't getting ignored. Thanks for sharing your tips with us.

I am glad to hear about Jack Welsh's attitude toward his employees.

I must not be. I never get any message notifications unless they have been hitting my spam box. I'll check that out.

Cecil: Thank you for sharing ideas on how you could give thank-you notes and actions to employees. Do you have any special company in mind, that is good at saying thanks to their co-workers?

Lyceum,

Glad you enjoyed the information. There was really no specific company I was talking about. I have been in a number of organizations and always take special note of ways they recognize good work. I also read a lot of books on the subject, specifically from the CEO point of view. One leader who really took every opportunity to thank someone for their hard work was Jack Welch, who was formerly the CEO of General Electric.

Welch was known to give out handwritten notes of appreciation to his factory employees and I even recall one event where a manager had worked over his anniversary, so he sent the man and his wife on a trip at his expense. At the end of the day, effective leaders know how to make their people feel appreciated in one way or another that goes beyond the paycheck.

Thanks for checking out the site and the great comments and questions. Sorry for the late response.
