How do you appreciate teamwork?

Your team performs vital roles to help grow and maintain your business. Recognising your team’s hard work can help preserve your relationship with your team and motivate them to continue their positive contributions. Sending a note can show them how much you value their work. Consider the following when saying thank you for great teamwork:

Sending the message

There are a variety of formats that you can use to send a message of gratitude. For example, email may be the easiest way to send a message to your team, and they will likely receive it immediately. This may be appropriate for a quick and efficient expression of your gratitude. However, a handwritten note can be more meaningful and it may be more appropriate for expressing your thanks concerning a larger task or project.

To whom you can address the message

If you are congratulating a team on a combined project, you may address the note to a specific team and deliver it to the team leader to be shared with the group. However, if you are showing staff appreciation, you can deliver individual messages to the members of the team. This is a more personalised approach and can show individual team members that you recognise their contribution to the project.

What to include in your message

When writing a message to express gratitude to your team, consider what recent actions you have seen from the team that you want to thank them for. Specificity can provide helpful feedback for the team. By letting them know what you appreciate about their work, you can help them understand what you expect from their work in the future. You can also include specific information about how their work contributed to material growth in the company, showing your team members they have a vital impact on the company.

Provide a reward

Depending on how big the task was or how often you express gratitude for great teamwork, you can give a reward along with your message of thanks. These rewards can be monetary, like cash or gift cards. You can provide a smaller reward, like paid lunch or a small token of your appreciation. These rewards can motivate your team members to continue to improve their performance. They can also show your team members how much you appreciate their hard work.

Tips for writing a heartfelt message of appreciation

Here are some tips that you can remember when writing your own messages of appreciation:

• Keep it short. A small message is better than letting someone’s hard work go unnoticed. You can just write a few lines to express your gratitude.
• Make it genuine. An authentic message of appreciation can go a long way, and it is most impactful when it is an honest representation of how you feel.
• Be specific. Being specific can reinforce your appreciation because it shows that you pay attention to their work and that you know the details of what they do for you.
• Use a friendly tone. A note of thanks can engender goodwill between you and the team member or the team. Keep a friendly tone to show that you are approachable and genuine in your thanks.
• Be work-appropriate. You can make sure your message is appropriate for work by only writing notes of team appreciation for work activities, and refraining from mentioning any unprofessional jokes or language. This allows you to maintain a positive work environment.
