Many times we overlook the power that we possess over our staffs morale simply by taking the time to write an employee appreciation letter. But do not make the mistake of trying to take the easy way out by using some type of prewritten standardized form letter that says the same thing to everyone. Make it personal or don't do it.
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.
Using the example of the company picnic above, we may write something like this on the greeting card we send to the employee. "Thank you so very much for the tremendous amount of time and effort you spent on coordinating this year's company picnic. I truly enjoyed watching the pie eating contest and the food was fantastic. What a thrill it was and I want to thank you again!" Remember, it is the quality of what you say and not the quantity of what you say.
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.
