Publisher's summary

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.

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 book!

Such a great book on how to show appreciation in the workplace! For me this is the 5 love languages but for the workplace because it’s emphasis is appreciation which I believe is most fitting for the work type of relationships. Love it!

Non-boring narration and non-boring content

After listening to this book, I have a whole new perspective on what appreciation is, and how to start making employees feel valued. Highly recommend and not just for leaders.

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.
