Sometimes we get stuck in a rut — and breaking out of it is difficult. Sometimes we get busy and put things we want to do on the back burner. And sometimes we\u2019re waiting for more evidence to convince us. Well, friends, the time to act has arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the facts on the current state of employment in the United States:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Finding and hiring new (and qualified<\/em>) employees is incredibly challenging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Recent research has shown<\/a> that employees who are quitting their jobs are 10 times<\/strong> more likely to be leaving because of toxic cultural issues than for better compensation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Keeping<\/em> current employees is critical. Research (both past and present<\/a>) shows that team members are far more likely to stay at their current job if they feel appreciated and connected with their colleagues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Studies by the Gallup Group, the Boston Consulting Group<\/a> and others have documented the numerous benefits when employees feel valued including increased productivity, profitability, employee engagement and customer service ratings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Our Appreciation at Work <\/em>resources continue to demonstrate their practical utility and effectiveness in increasing employees feeling appreciated and creating more positive workplace cultures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s our evidence for this last claim?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve been cited by the BBC News, The New York Times and Forbes (all in the past 5 months).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
