Expressing gratitude, scholars say, is actually good for us — decreasing depression and increasing happiness. But did you know that gratitude is also good for our companies? Gratitude is a key factor in employee well-being, organizational citizenship and pro-social behavior — all of which impact key metrics like employee engagement, retention and productivity.
Join Globoforce’s Jennifer Sartor and Darcy Jacobsen as they show how gratitude can be a key ingredient in your organization’s recipe for success. Learn:
Why thankful employees are happier employees.
The ROI of employee gratitude.

They are reminded that God gives wealth so they should not rely on their own power. Generous giving results in thanksgiving to God and supplies the needs of others. Everything created by God is good if received with thanksgiving. The document asks why a church needs money in relation to the topic of gratitude.
