#ThirstyThursday Issue #55

Blueboard pulled data from different 2022 work trend surveys. What we found is a resounding plea from employees for better recognition, appreciation, and empathy from their employers.

Over the last couple of years, as barriers between work and personal life have broken down, we’ve seen people at their most real. As the definitions of where and how we work have changed, employees are also ready to be seen beyond just their job titles.

And here exists the opportunity for companies: Create programs and opportunities for employees to feel appreciated.

The easiest and most important place to start is employee recognition.

This is why on January 5th at 10 AM PST, Blueboard is kicking off the New Year with a workshop for those looking to adapt, upgrade, or build employee recognition programs in 2023.

The workshop will be conversational and interactive. All questions are welcome, all professionals are welcome, so feel free to invite anyone who would be interested in this conversation.
