'Thank You' Named Best Small Gesture In The Workplace
Saying 'thank you' has been named as the best 'small gesture' in the workplace.
6 in 10 say a manager saying thank you in the number one action that goes a long way at work.
The survey of 2,000 workers also found 55% say that receiving a small act of kindness inspires them to return the favour, which workers will do four times a week, on average, according to The Mirror.
The OnePoll.com, for British Gas, also found one third of people say they feel 'underappreciated', while one in five say they're considering changing job in the new year, to something where they feel more valued.
