Corporate Care: Why it’s Important to Show Appreciation During Easter

For any corporation, Easter is a great time of year to show appreciation for your team. Regardless of religious association, as a leader, you can involve your entire team in Easter celebrations and show them your appreciation, because Easter symbolises a time for seasonal change, renewal, and growth.

One of the best ways to retain business and propel motivation, engagement, and productivity is to show your team members that you value them. Given Easter occurs in April, still early in the year, it’s also a great time to encourage your employees to keep going, and to set up for a fantastic rest of the year.

Let’s look into why showing appreciation around Easter is meaningful.

It Shows You Value Work-Life Balance.

It’s crucial that you recognise your employees outside of work too, and acknowledge they are people. Take the time to ask them what they have planned for the Easter break and then ask them about their weekend upon their return. Mark the occasion of Easter by adding Easter themed decorations around the workplace.

Easter Celebrates Renewal and Resilience.

This symbolic time of year marks the change in season. In the southern hemisphere, the weather will get colder, and the leaves will be falling. It’s the perfect time of year to address any feedback and praise your team for their hard work. Use this time to inspire and energise your team by acknowledging their recent achievements and showering them with treats they can enjoy.

It Shows You Care.

Any team member wants to feel appreciated for their work. They also want to know you care for their efforts. Make sure each one of your team members get a personal acknowledgement. This is a great way to boost individual and team morale, and set a positive, encouraging tone for the rest of the year.
