25+ Different Types of Employee Appreciation Messages

June 12, 2023

If you're looking for ways to show your team you care, genuine words of appreciation that can be felt in employees' hearts are always meaningful.

Giving employee appreciation messages verbally is a simple and effective way to express gratitude. But written notes, such as thank-you cards or emails, can be more personal and longer-lasting than verbal praise.

 

Words Have the Power to Make a Difference in the Workplace

From ancient times to now, hand-written notes have been treasured. But in today's modern world of instant messages and sending quick texts, few people take the time to write their messages.

Which is why simple acts, like employee appreciation notes and acknowledgment are held in such high regard today. In fact, writing a thank you note to an employee may even help them have their greatest workdays.

Not sure where to start? Don't worry. We know writing can be a challenge. So we've laid out a few employee appreciation messages to help get you started.
