Quick Tip: How To Foster Holiday Gratitude And Community Companywide

As the holidays approach, startup founders and enterprise leaders alike have a chance to do much more than just celebrate the end of another year with their hardworking teams. Actively building a sense of gratitude and community in teams through intentional acts of appreciation and service at the holidays can inspire connection, boost morale and show team members how much they are valued.

Here, is a simple yet impactful way for leaders to both demonstrate and cultivate gratitude this holiday season and year-round.

Transform Gratitude Into Service

Gratitude is an action! Examples of gratitude in action I’ve witnessed in the past year include a company’s employees serving a meal to residents of a senior care facility in their community, and another company taking teens from their community to a baseball game. Getting out and serving those who benefit from our time and attention is a beautiful expression of gratitude.
