Comments on: Mom was right. Always say, ‘thank you.’ http://thepowerofgoodwill.com/blog/2008/06/mom-was-right-always-say-thank-you/ A blog about employee morale and reputation Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:23:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rachel Eichenbaum http://thepowerofgoodwill.com/blog/2008/06/mom-was-right-always-say-thank-you/comment-page-1/#comment-310 Rachel Eichenbaum Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:14:42 +0000 http://thepowerofgoodwill.com/?p=60#comment-310 These statistics you mention are alarming. I can't believe how many employers don't know that employee recognition and retention go hand in hand! It's so simple to thank a job well-done (indeed Mom was right.) Needless to say, the effort goes a long way in building a strong foundation of employee loyalty and longevity. I'm going to add your blog to my RSS feed.

Just as your statistics speak to employee-employer relations, it is the same for student-teacher, teacher-parent and families too. Offering recognition to anyone is a morale booster for them and helps balance your mood by ensuring you focus on the positives, not just the "fires" and "squeaky-wheels" that seem to dominate our daily schedule.
