Abstract

Chapman and White (2019) identify that employees who are appreciated tend to be more engaged and motivated and are ultimately happier and more productive. This, in turn, maximizes success and results in a lower employee turnover rate within an organization. An effective leader must be aware of methods with which to demonstrate appreciation. Educators, as leaders, often recognize students for exemplary work or concerted efforts. In this session, “Appreciation: Are Students Entitled to It?”, Chapman and White’s Five Languages of Appreciation in the workplace will be explored. Paralleling a positive and engaging culture within the work environment (Gunsalus, et.al, 2018), educators will consider the role appreciation plays in student retention, motivation, and engagement by differentiating between recognition and appreciation, exploring various languages of appreciation, and engaging in activities to develop ideas and methods with which to incorporate appreciation.
