Gratitude as a UND Fighting Hawk
Showing gratitude in the workplace has been linked with more positive emotions, less stress, fewer health complaints, a greater sense of accomplishment, fewer sick days, and higher satisfaction with our jobs and our co-workers. How can we bring this to our place of work?
|
Below are some tips for practicing gratitude here at UND:
|
- Show that you value someone that you work with
- Practice reflecting when you have a different opinion that someone
- Say THANK YOU
- Thank those that others often forget to thank
- Send an email recognizing the hard work and talent of your team after a completion of a big project or transition
- Treat your co workers with a homemade treat, or bring in goodies to a meeting
