Elizabeth H. King, PhD President & CEO – Wichita State University Foundation
“In these challenging economic times, when it has been difficult to find the resources to reward our staff monetarily, we have diligently sought ways to genuinely express our appreciation for our staff’s hard work and service. Until reading The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, and working with Dr. White to lead our staff in a workshop on this topic, I do not believe we had given any consideration to the fact that certain team members, when shown specific acts of gratitude, respond differently than other team members. We are still learning and putting new approaches into action, but over the last few months, I have seen a marked and heightened effort to personalize appreciation not only by supervisors with their staff members but also on a peer-to-peer basis.”
