review 1: The 5 Love Languages is a must-book, especially if you're married. This book was helpful but I think it would have been just as good as a blog post. The most helpful insight was explaining the difference between recognition of employees and appreciation of employees. "Recognition is largely about behavior. Appreciation focuses on performance plus the employee's value as a person. Recognition is about improving performance and focuses on what is good for the company. Appreciation emphasizes what is good for the company AND what is good for the person."The single highest driver of engagement, according to a worldwide study conducted by Towers Watson is whether or not workers feel their managers are genuinely interested in their wellbeing. The question is not, "Do you appreci... moreate your employees?" The question is, "Do your employees feel appreciate?"
review 2: I loved this book so much that I gave a copy to several co-workers. The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace helped me to understand the most appropriate ways to show affirmation and give positive feedback to co-workers and volunteers in ways that speak to them based on their primary "Appreciation Language." Great team building exercise to do with department staff, managerial teams, or executive teams.(I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.) less
