The power of the pen can be harnessed to improve employee morale by our investing the time to compose a meaningful employee appreciation letter. However, if you believe that you can throw some simple thank you form letter together and it will accomplish what you set out to do you are mistaken. If the letter is not personal don't waste your time.
There are a number of ways you can approach recognizing your employees in writing with an employee appreciation letter. Anything from writing something personal by hand on a greeting card, to a personal appreciation letter typewritten and signed on your company letterhead, can be great depending on the occasion. In some cases it might be appropriate to write both types, such as an employee having organized the successful annual company picnic.
If we were to write something on a greeting card to the employee that organized the picnic we might say this. "Wow! What an amazing picnic we had this year thanks to you! I can't believe how fast they ate those pies during the pie eating contest. This was a complete success because of the amount of time and effort you dedicated to it. Thank you!" It's not how much you write, but what you say that makes the difference.
If we were to write an employee appreciation letter on our company stationary we might word it like this. "This letter represents my heartfelt appreciation for making this year's annual company picnic a huge success. I continue to receive nothing but positive remarks from everyone I speak with about how much fun they had at the event. One of the most memorable moments was my personal experience on the dunk tank and the numbers of employees we have that can hit the bull's eye with just one throw. Although it will be hard to top this year's picnic, I can't wait to see what you do next year. Thank you so very much again for everything you did to make this an overwhelming success!"
One thing I have learned over the years is to try and keep things as simple as possible. By keeping things simple you are better able to repeat them over and over again successfully. Therefore, if we stored several greeting cards in our office desk it would make it very easy to make one out every time one of our employees earns some type of appreciation. I can't stress enough how important it is to incorporate an employee appreciation letter program into your workplace so that you will build employee morale and increase productivity.
