Thanksgiving might be the headliner in November, but there’s an opportunity all month long to let grateful feelings flow. The entire month is commemorated as National Gratitude Month. In the workplace, showing gratitude can lead to big benefits. In a study by the American Psychological Association, researchers found that 93% of employees who felt valued and appreciated were motivated to do their best work and 88% said they felt engaged.

Sadly though, people are less likely to express gratitude at work than anywhere else. More than half of people (60%) say they never or rarely show their appreciation at work, and 74% never or rarely express gratitude to their boss.

Make the most of this National Gratitude Month with promotional products. We’re presenting a few ideas in this issue of Promotional Consultant Today.
