Understanding how people feel appreciated varies significantly between individuals, with five distinct appreciation languages determining what makes team members feel truly valued. • Words of affirmation can be delivered through praise for accomplishments, character affirmations, or personality trait recognition • Recognition delivery matters significantly – some prefer public praise while others find it mortifying • Understanding if someone prefers one-on-one, small group, or large group recognition is crucial • Written appreciation allows some people to save and reference positive feedback later • Creating a "Working With Me" guide helps teams understand individual preferences and communication styles • Generic praise becomes meaningless when overused or applied too broadly • Workplace appreciation must be specific and personalized to remain effective • The Discord has a poll about appreciation languages – join and share your preferences Join our Discord to participate in the appreciation languages poll and continue the conversation!
