If you are like almost every workplace in the world, then most of your internal communications will be done via email.
Got a problem with something? Send an email. Need to confirm something? Send an email. Had an idea? Put it in an email.
It’s quick, it’s easy and it leaves a record of communications, which is handy.
But the high use of email also means an old trick can be very effective – the handwritten note.
If someone in your team has done a particularly good job, or is celebrating a personal milestone such as a birthday or anniversary, then take a few minutes to write out a personal note acknowledging the event.
It’s a quick and cheap way to show you actually care about your employees, and do value their contribution to your business.
Get it done – today!
