Recognition from a boss, even for successfully completing a daily task, can instantly make someone’s day a little better — and those compliments can add up.
Graphic design platform Canva surveyed 1,500 professionals, finding that 56% feel appreciated or very appreciated at work; of the employees who feel highly appreciated, 94% report loving their workplace and 91% report loving their job. On the other hand, for the employees who feel underappreciated or rate their viewpoint as neutral, just 18% report loving their workplace, and 33% report loving their job. In other words, recognition from management is a major factor in an employee’s relationship with their work. And it’s clear from Canva’s findings that some employees are feeling left behind.
