INTRODUCTION,

Like love and terror, appreciation is one of mankind's oldest and most primal feelings that humans have ever experienced. And it dates back 2600 years and has an unexpected hint of gratitude for employees.
Employers or organizations can show their appreciation for their staff by doing something to recognize their worth. It honors their value as team members and as people, rather than focusing just on their performance.
Employee appreciation can take many different forms. Some examples include thanking a worker for supporting other departments, assisting a team member who is having difficulty with a challenging assignment, or recognizing a colleague's dedication to the company in order to maintain morale among coworkers in trying circumstances.

Importance of employee appreciation

One of the simplest methods to show your appreciation for your staff's dedication is to give them raises or incentives. Giving your top staff raises above and beyond the regular cost of living increases is the best way to keep them on board, happy, and productive. To motivate ongoing effort and express gratitude for reaching objectives, bonuses can also be implemented into your remuneration system for high-performing individuals or teams. 
The following are a few advantages for organizations that present employee appreciation programs: 

It buildup trust between employees and employer

If workers don't feel comfortable confiding in you, your firm won't run well. Employees need to believe that their management values them as people and prioritizes their long-term interests. According to a survey, 86% of workers believed they could confide in supervisors who had acknowledged them during the previous month. 

It improves efficiency levels

In the unlikely event that your workers sense that you are considering it, you will notice it in how hard they work. Employees who feel appreciated will invest more effort and resources into helping the organization succeed. 

It reduces turnover

You'd probably like not to have to deal with the cost of hiring and on boarding a new employee on a regular basis. By continuously showing staff your appreciation, you might be able to lower your employee turnover rate.

Types of employee appreciation

‍1. Micro Appreciation

Micro appreciation, known as day-to-day appreciation, is a frequent and ongoing appreciation. It generally takes a simple form of sending handwritten notes, giving cards, putting wishes on bulletin boards, or anything that can help you appreciate employees quickly and easily. Though less pompous, micro appreciation is best suited to support organizational values frequently and make employees feel valued without shelling out a grand level of time and resources.

2. Formal Appreciation

Formal appreciation is more structured, involving a nomination, a thorough selection process, and a ceremony or special event. It's characterized by lesser frequency and demand for enhanced planning and preparation. Regardless of the type of appreciation you are using, its efficiency will depend upon the quantity of the meaning into which it's been mounted.

3. Informal Appreciation

Informal appreciation comes into play when individuals or teams successfully progress toward shiny milestones or when they complete an arduous project with panache. Though informal appreciation doesn’t necessarily happen every day, it can become memorable by exhibiting itself through a low-cost memento, a modest pizza party, a culturally-integrating potluck, or a trip to the pub for happy hour.
