Gratitude at Work, Small Gestures, Big Impact

By Florence Tsang

Have you ever noticed how a simple “thank you” can turn your whole day around? Gratitude is more than just good manners - it builds trust, deepens relationships, and makes workplaces happier and more productive.

At our workshop, we do more than just teach or train, we cultivate a mindset of gratitude at work. While we often thank those we work with daily, it’s sometimes those we don’t see often - the ones who listen when we need it most or give us feedback that opens our eyes - who make an even bigger impact.

I remember when a colleague thanked me for my input on a project. That small gesture sparked a meaningful professional relationship. Over the years, I’ve found that appreciation - whether from a manager, a peer, or through constructive feedback - can boost morale, inspire new ideas, and transform tough days into opportunities for growth.

When leaders consistently recognize their teams and treat mistakes as learning moments, it encourages everyone to take risks and share innovative ideas. This culture of gratitude creates loyal employees, strengthens teamwork, and naturally lifts productivity.

But gratitude isn’t just for managers, every team member can make a difference. Just acknowledging a colleague’s hard work can fuel motivation and create an uplifting atmosphere. By appreciating those around us, we not only brighten their day, we help our whole workplace thrive.
