Appreciation Series: Acts of Service

Bruce and Clark continue their workplace appreciation series by exploring Acts of Service, the highest-ranked appreciation language in their poll. They discuss how providing meaningful help to colleagues can be a powerful form of workplace appreciation when done correctly.

• Acts of Service involves doing something to help someone else with their tasks or responsibilities
• The CAT framework: Constraints (ensure your work is covered first), Ask permission, establish a Timeframe
• Always do the task their way, not yours, even if your method seems more efficient
• Help must be voluntary—providing assistance out of obligation creates resentment
• Setting clear expectations about what help you can provide prevents misunderstandings
• Check your attitude before helping—if you're feeling negative, your assistance won't be appreciated
• Complete what you start, don't leave tasks unfinished when you've committed to helping
• Acts of Service is most effective when tailored to each individual's preferences
