With the holiday season just around the corner, this is the perfect time for businesses to show appreciation for their employees and to focus on employee recognition, according to Refresh Leadership, a blog of Express Employment Professionals.

This is important if your goal is to have a productive and engaged workforce, as a study by the Aberdeen Group shows that 60 percent of successful businesses found that employee recognition drives individual performance.

One of the best ways to show thankfulness to your employees is by offering them flex schedules or an extra day off, if possible. This is guaranteed to boost morale and also may improve productivity.

Sharing a handwritten note with your employees in a society that has gone nearly entirely digital is another way to show them how much you appreciate their contributions.

Throwing an office holiday party is also a great idea. This will not only thank your employees for a job well done, but will also help reduce stress during deadline crunch times.

Finally, praising your employees publicly is a morale booster both for both the person receiving the praise and the entire team.
