The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by Dr. Gary Chapman. Have you ever been in one of those relationships where you think you're doing everything you can to please your partner, but they're still feeling frustrated and unloved? I mean you're giving them compliments, you work hard all day to bring home the bacon and pay the bills, you give them gifts, and you even do some chores around the house, but they're still feeling unloved...i mean, what more do they want! it's incredibly annoying and disappointing, right? Well, the reason why they aren't feeling loved, in short, is that you're not speaking their love language! The premise of the book is that people don't give and receive love in the same way. Most of us think that the way we want to be loved is how others want to be loved as well, but this is not the case! There are in fact 5 love languages... This is huge because if you're not speaking the same language as your significant other, then you could be missing the mark completely and not even know it..... it's basically the equivalent of a British guy trying to talk to a Chinese guy .. it's not going to go well because they're simply not going to understand each other. If you are going to have a strong relationship, you have to know how you and your partner both give and receive love. The 5 love languages are: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.

An employee performs incredibly well if he is motivated and completely comfortable with the office culture and environment. However, the majority of the time, people feel strained and under-valued at work. It is because of the way they are being treated by the bosses and managers, which eventually leads to continuous disappointment and discouragement. On the other hand, an appreciation can create a better workplace for employees, and help companies improve motivation and retention, without a huge cash outlay. It is what Gary Chapmen and Paul White address in their book “The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace.” So, watch the video till the end to get a grip on those 5 languages of appreciation.

Research: [1] 79% of employees who quit their jobs cite that a lack of appreciation by the management, by their manager, and even colleagues is the primary reason for their leaving. And money is not the other one.; [2] 65% of North American workers say that they have received no recognition or appreciation in the last 12 months. || Individuals are motivated and encouraged differently. || The objective of appreciation is to improve their performance. It is also to support and encourage the person. One the most impactful things we do in our training is to show team members how they can effectively show appreciation and support one another. || The objective of appreciation is to improve their performance.

People have intrinsic value and that even if they aren’t in the right spot, they are still valuable as a person. I can show appreciation for them as a person even if they maybe they aren’t in the right position at work. So, there is a big difference between appreciation and recognition. Because in a true recognition program you will not call attention to when they have messed up or not met the mark except in a critical or punitive way. The objective of appreciation is to improve their performance but it’s also to support and encourage the person. One of the fun things is that, as I work with teams across the country, appreciation can be communicated from anyone to anyone else. People like to know how to encourage their colleagues. I work with HR directors and training managers and I’m talking to them and I’m hearing that people are not really responding to recognition. Recognition programs are not really working. The research is starting to show this to be true. "Yeah, everybody that’s in this field knows that it’s not working, but we don’t know what else to do, so we keep doing it.” If people don’t feel appreciated, bad things happen. They get discouraged; they don’t work as hard—these are sort of common-sense ones. They feel “used” that they are just a piece of machinery, that they are just trying to get as much out of me as they can. They start to grumble and complain. One of the things you’ve got to understand is that if people don’t feel valued and appreciated, they don’t keep it to themselves. But the fact is -- we absolutely know how to communicate appreciation in a variety of professions—military, manufacturing, financial, and so forth. Here are the core conditions for people to feel valued and appreciated. * Appreciation is communicated regularly * Expressed in the language that is important to them. Some people don’t value words. I had one guy say to me that, “Paul, I don’t need to be told I’m appreciated, I sort of encourage myself.” We found out his language of appreciation was Quality Time. What I found out over time was that he happened to be a coach and if you went and hung out at practice with him, he got all jazzed and he was exited to see you and he would tell you about was going on and he felt like you cared about what he was doing in his life. * Communicate appreciation individually and personalize it. If you want your people to feel valued, you’ve got to know them and you’ve got to communicate it in a way that is meaningful to them for what they’ve brought to the situation. * The appreciation has to be viewed as being absolutely authentic. If they don’t view it as being authentic you are actually undercutting yourself. So, when people feel like what they do matters and they people notice that they like to come to work more. They also come on time. One of the key things that we know is that we can reduce tardiness and we can reduce absenteeism. Absenteeism can be as high as up to 30 percent of the personnel costs for organizations today. Five percent of the employees in the workforce don’t show up in any one-day unannounced. We can decrease staff turnover. You guys know how hard it is to find and train new people. We can keep people in the door and keep them in the team, we can diminish tension and conflict, and improve customer satisfaction, especially even with vendors.
