A recent survey conducted online by Harris Interactive (on behalf of Glassdoor) polled 2,044 workers. The results showed that 53 per cent of employees would stay at their company longer if they felt more appreciation from their boss.

Another 81 per cent of respondents said they’re motivated to work harder when their boss shows appreciation for their work.

“This survey shows that most employees just want to feel appreciated and valued,” said Allyson Willoughby, Glassdoor’s senior vice president of people and general counsel.

“They want to be involved in decision making processes, do interesting work and have a purpose. If employers keep this in mind, they’ll likely longer retain some of their most talented employees.”

The survey also revealed that 68 per cent of surveyed employees claimed that their boss shows them enough appreciation. Another 24 per cent said their boss shows greater appreciation to workers with more experience, while 23 per cent of respondents said their boss shows more appreciation to newer employees.
