Building a workplace culture of gratitude

The holiday season is a time for many of us to take inventory of all we have to be thankful for in our lives. Given the many challenges that 2020 has brought, it may be difficult to continue that tradition this year.

But cultivating a culture and spirit of gratitude in the workplace may be more necessary than ever.

There are many ways to foster gratitude. Here are just a few ideas:
Encourage recognition
Recognition can take many forms in the workplace, whether it’s a direct note to a colleague on a job well-done, a companywide email from a leader, or in a team meeting.
Promote optimism
When it comes to work, conversation can lean negative (i.e. “Mondays are the worst,” “This project is so tedious and boring,” or “I’m counting down the days until my vacation”). While employees should be encouraged to express concerns and sharing negative feelings is not necessarily bad, the workplace could often benefit from a more positive approach.
Ask others why they are grateful
Thankfulness and positivity are contagious. Talking about it, whether it’s in passing or in more formal settings, is a great way to build a culture of gratitude.
