Gratitude is so incredibly important to practice in business.

And I don’t mean daily affirmations – though I do love those. I’m talking about showing gratitude.

Showing gratitude for your team that makes it happen.

Recently I mentioned how I took a hiatus from everything to get my head on straight after some challenging times over the past year.

My team handled it all with grace. They stepped up in a way that truly allowed me to step away and reset.

While giving team members bonuses is great, they often use bonus money for necessities and not luxuries.

I wanted to live out the principles of my gifting business at Marie Mae and give them something tangible. Specifically, I wanted to give my team something they wouldn’t give themselves.  

Team Treat Day was born.

Listen in and I’ll tell you why this was important for the team, even if the timing was a little unconventional.

I always say baking impact into the business is a good thing for a “good office,” and this is an important example of doing it internally.

Pay it forward to your team. They deserve it!

Takeaways from this episode:
-The epitome of a great gift? When it’s a surprise, a luxury that they would never buy for themselves, and helps them feel seen and treasured. It also shows them what's possible and tangible to be achieved in the future if they put in the work.
-You don’t have to wait until after your team hits a big business goal to reward them. Reward them up front to get them in a positive headspace and boost morale.
-Gifts don’t always have to be done as a “thank you” or saved for holidays. Use gifting to help your team feel like a million bucks.
