Episode 123: Micro-acknowledgment and Why It’s Hard to do Remotely

When you make eye contact with a colleague who just shared a good idea or example and you give them a look of agreement, of respect, or of admiration, you are communicating a very subtle message of micro-acknowledgment. We do this very naturally in the face-to-face work environment. In meetings, in the hallways, heck – even in the parking lot. But in the virtual and hybrid work environment, micro-acknowledgment is practically non-existent. And that’s not good for your company culture or for retaining your best employees. In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson explains what micro-acknowledgment is and shares ideas on how you can do it in the virtual or hybrid workplace.
