Fostering a Culture of Gratitude at the Workplace

‘Thank you’ is just a two-word that shows the polite expression of one’s gratitude. Everyone in every workplace and team has a natural need to be recognized and valued by their peers.

High-performing teams have clear goals, accountability mechanisms, roles, and duties that are vibrant, and open communication. Moreover, teams that create cohesion by instilling a sense of thankfulness and appreciation among team members outperform in various ways.

Radixweb, being recognized as a Great Place to Work, we know how important it is for us and our business to have a positive workplace. We focus on nurturing a collaborative environment that promotes a healthy work-life balance. Our people are the strong pillars behind the organization’s growth and success.

According to research, workforces who feel appreciated have higher job satisfaction, are willing to work longer hours, engage in productive interactions with coworkers and supervisors, are inspired to do their best, and work toward the company’s goals.

Showing gratitude towards someone brings greater positivity, openness to growth, and creativity at work.

Importance of Showing Gratitude at Work

“As a leader, you can instill thankfulness from the top down,” says Atri Kansara, Sr. Project Manager at Radixweb. “As an employee, you may create your own grassroots of thankfulness movement by expressing gratitude and encouraging your coworkers to do the same.”

Don’t forget to say Thanks. Recognize it when someone does something nice for you, whether it’s your supervisor, a coworker, or a stranger! A simple “thank you” will be enough. You can’t expect others to appreciate you if you don’t thank them for their kindness and gratefulness.

At Radixweb, we seek to create an environment where everyone feels valued and can openly show their gratitude to others. Thanks is one of the most potent experience activators for establishing a positive employee experience since it benefits both people who offer and receive gratitude.

On the surface, it may be counterintuitive to believe that diverting positive resources from one’s own self and offering them to others would significantly impact how one feels and works. While on the other hand, gratitude makes people feel more contented with their lives and improves their overall quality of life.

Gratitude at work is essential for generating a pleasant employee experience because it fosters an atmosphere of caring, warmth, and empathy.

Teams Stay Productive and Motivated

“Every day at Radixweb, I see and hear individuals assisting their team members”, says Maitray Gadhavi, Sr. Business Development Manager. He further added that it’s teamwork that makes the biggest hurdle overcome quickly. Helping someone who is away, and volunteering to take on more work to solve a specific problem is something one can experience in our office. It’s incredible to see this. That’s the kind of environment we should strive for.

You feel appreciated, and your work is being recognized when you receive a statement of gratitude. It’s a fact that people who are acknowledged for their contributions are motivated to work more and volunteer to help more with better productivity in the future.

So, if you want to motivate your team, remember to congratulate them for their efforts regularly. It doesn’t take much, yet your words can make a big difference.

We are happy when we see that Radixians acknowledge and thank their peers who continually contribute to their success. We have actively built and are proud of our culture at Radixweb, which prioritizes teamwork.

After more than two decades in the industry, the leaders at Radixweb have learned from experience that the finest places to work are the ones where people are grateful for what they have and aren’t hesitant to express genuine appreciation when it is due.

Making Gratitude Part of Life

Everyone is busy and has their own life experiences. We can sometimes feel fully swamped at work, and we all have a personal life as well. It can be not easy to come up for air and acknowledge how fortunate we are when we have so much going on. As a result, making gratitude, a habit is critical.

Taking the opportunity to go outside of oneself and be aware of what is going on right now. It may be as simple as remembering that you have a job to stress you out in the first place if you’re stressed at work. Furthermore, there are most certainly other people in your immediate vicinity who are going through the same thing you are.

Why not be grateful to them? Make it a practice to give yourself time to express thanks.

Step aside from the pandemonium for a bit and you’ll have a better chance of noticing the positive things going on. You don’t have to start a thankfulness journal or meditate to do this; sometimes, just being separated is enough to get you thinking. It can be difficult to schedule time for this practice. Making it a part of our everyday routine would make things smooth.

Thank You

As mentioned earlier everyone wants to be feel valued and appreciated; it is one of the most basic human needs. Significant research shows that demonstrating gratitude has both business and human benefits in the workplace.

Gratitude is an easy and helpful thing to do, from email closings to ice cream socials. You will not only make your coworkers feel valued, but you will also feel more cheerful as you actively seek out the good in people.

Our team at Radixweb believes cultivating an empathetic culture will enrich the work environment and eventually spread the spirit of gratitude. If you want to be part of our happy and grateful team, then we are waiting for you.
