What We Mean by Appreciation
Answer 24 questions on a scale of
1-10 to see how you can improve your business
In this short quiz, appreciation refers to how people experience being valued at work.
It includes recognition for outcomes, gratitude for contributions, and acknowledgement of effort, growth, and trust, it goes beyond any single gesture. Appreciation is not just what is said or done, but how, when, and by whom it is experienced.
People can receive regular thanks or formal recognition and still feel undervalued if appreciation doesn’t align with what matters most to them. This quiz explores those preferences to create clarity.
