The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace

Empowering Organizations by Encouraging People

De: Gary Chapman, Dr. Paul White

Narrado por: Dr. Paul White

Based on the #1 New York Times bestseller The 5 Love Languages®(over 12 million copies sold),
Dramatically improve workplace relationships simply by learning your coworkers’ language of appreciation.
This book will give you the tools to improve staff morale, create a more positive workplace, and increase employee engagement. How? By teaching you to effectively communicate authentic appreciation and encouragement to employees, co-workers, and leaders. Most relational problems in organizations flow from this question: do people feel appreciated? This book will help you answer “Yes!”
A bestseller—having sold over 300,000 copies and translated into 16 languages—this book has proven to be effective and valuable in diverse settings. Its principles about human behavior have helped businesses, non-profits, hospitals, schools, government agencies, and organizations with remote workers.
PLUS! Each book contains a free access code for taking the online Motivating By Appreciation (MBA) Inventory (does not apply to purchases of used books). The assessment identifies a person’s preferred languages of appreciation to help you apply the book. When supervisors and colleagues understand their coworkers’ primary and secondary languages, as well as the specific actions they desire, they can effectively communicate authentic appreciation, thus creating healthy work relationships and raising the level of performance across an entire team or organization.
Take your team to the next level by applying The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good reminders of best practices but high-level

Overall this was a good base for better understanding appreciation in the workplace and reminder of things I should be incorporating into my management practices. I feel the book reflected too much on The 5 Love Languages and didn’t go deep enough with statistics, key stories, and take-aways other than most things I knew previously.

I did find a few things very interesting, specifically around how one person giving the gratitude may feel they are very appreciative while the receiving individual may view it as completely different.

Disappointed

Where can we find the inventory quiz? Having all of this information is useless without the quiz.

good book, even if you read another version

where is the PDF for the audiobook version. not sure how to find that.

Great tips for being mindful about showing appreciation

Wonderful book and tool to help you be mindful about showing appreciation in meaningful ways at work and in your daily life. The biggest reason I don't give it 5 stars is that the book heavily markets taking the mba inventory, but the audiobook doesn't include a code to take the inventory, so you have to buy that separately

Very applicable in all work settings!

Disappointed that I had to still purchase the assessment code though . But good team builder.

A must read!

Liked the practical application and approach.

Disliked not getting the code to the the inventory since it was N audible book.

Excellent!

This is filled with great information delivered in a simple way. I wish I had read it sooner!

Love vs Appreciation

I have be attempting application of the love languages st my office for some time. This book has shown better how to understand work relationships and view affirmation and appreciation in this context.

Listen with Open Mind- No code with audio book

If you listen/read with an open mind the context is fantastic! I loved the 5 love languages so discovering how those languages can apply in a work environment was exciting. Reader beware, this is a sales book. For six hours, the reader/author is convincing you to buy their product. It's the timeshare presentation of audiobooks. However, if you can read/listen objectively and skin past the sales parts, the content can be a valuable tool in your "Positive Work Culture" tool belt. Definitely a must read.

Great but no inventory

Great book. wish the free MBA Inventory came with it like the physical book does.
