5 Languages of Appreciation at Work

Do you know about 5 Love Languages?
Well, this book is actually talking about our love language, in workplace setting.

There are basically 5 languages of appreciation: 1) Quality Time; 2) Words of Affirmation; 3) Act of Service; 4) Tangible Gifts; and 5) Physical Touch.

In a workplace setting, Quality Time means that the person likes to have a sharing session. People who spend their time just to listen to him/her.

While Words of Affirmation means that the person wants to be appreciated in words. People who spend time to talk to him/her, to give the feedback and compliment.

Act of Service means that the person wants other to help him/her do the job.

Tangible gifts means the person like to get an award, a little appreciation gift, such as coupon, ticket, etc.

Last but not least, physical touch could mean a little high five, pats on the back, firm shake hand....

The author gave such a good example about this language of appreciation:

If you are thirsty, and someone offers you a place to sit, it's nice and thoughtful, but it doesn't satisfy your needs.

The research shows most of the people resign from their job because they do not feel appreciated.
