Employee Appreciation Day is swiftly approaching on March 1st, marking a special occasion to celebrate and acknowledge your employees for their dedication and hard work.
Yet, the question arises: what is the most effective method to demonstrate your appreciation? As a startup employer operating within a tight budget, how can you meaningfully express gratitude? And how can you honour an introverted employee, ensuring the recognition feels sincere without causing discomfort?
