3. Retention
If employees are frequently thanked, praised, appreciated and rewarded they are more likely to feel valued, thus leading them to stay at the company. As most people would rather work in a better working environment than earn more money, although incentives/rewards do help.

4. Loyalty

5. Team culture
The office/workplace is where employees spend the majority of their lives. Making the environment as supportive, friendly, caring and appreciative as possible can be a major benefit for your employees.
