Recognize the importance of small gestures

Gifts ? Testimonials of recognition? Educational resources ? All these small gestures have a strong impact on the morale of the workforce: it is a good way to show them that their leaders appreciate them. Take graphic design platform Canva, consistently ranked as one of the best companies to work for in Australia. Canva has adopted a hybrid way of working, and the company has also implemented a policy that employees are only required to come into the office eight times a year.

Therefore, the way they show gratitude to each other has changed. Recognition has become a ritual in teams thanks to Disco, an online cultural platform for distributed teams. The application integrates with Slack and allows employees to send well-deserved thanks to their colleagues. Additionally, the company subsidizes mindfulness and meditation apps, and it also has a process in place called “Thank You Messages.” Employees can create cards on the platform to print them and then have them delivered to their colleagues.
