2019 Team Member Appreciation Week

By (Y)our Eagle Squad

In April, 2019 we held our second annual Team Member Appreciation Week.  The week was highlighted by a companywide breakfast, jacket giveaway and festive luncheon along with each department recognizing their teams.

Appreciation for each other a key to our success.  We pride ourselves on our Family Culture and commitment to each other, and our customers.

We embrace the Appreciation at Work system and the book The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace and actively engage with Gold Eagle team members companywide to create a climate of appreciation.

According to co-authors Gary Chapman and Paul White, at work, people express and receive appreciation in different ways. If you try to express appreciation in ways that aren’t meaningful to your co-workers, they may not feel valued at all. This is because you and your co-workers are speaking different languages. In The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, Dr. Chapman and Dr. White will help you identify the five languages of appreciation in order to:

1. Express genuine appreciation to co-workers and staff — even on a tight budget.
2. Increase loyalty with the employees and volunteers in your organization.
3. Reduce cynicism and create a more positive work environment.
4. Improve your ability to show appreciation for difficult colleagues.
5. Convey the language of physical touch in appropriate ways.
