Show appreciation and celebrate success\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s important to cultivate a culture of appreciation to make your team feel that the work they do matters. Positive reinforcement is the best way to motivate employees, according to a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fhbr.org\u002F2017\u002F09\u002Fwhat-motivates-employees-more-rewards-or-punishments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003C\u002Fa> published in the Harvard Business Review. Employees are more inclined to keep working hard if they get positive feedback in response to their achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Canto, we have a TV that plays a fun song or video when our team members hit their goals. We also have a Slack channel called #cheersforpeers, where we post notes of appreciation for our colleagues.

Invest in employee wellbeing\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employers are increasingly realizing the benefits of investing in their employees’ health and wellbeing both in and outside of the office. According to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fhbr.org\u002F2016\u002F04\u002Fare-you-too-stressed-to-be-productive-or-not-stressed-enough\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harvard Business Review\u003C\u002Fa>, too much stress results in lower performance, and according to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mckinsey.com\u002Fbusiness-functions\u002Forganization\u002Four-insights\u002Fthe-overlooked-essentials-of-employee-well-being\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McKinsey Quarterly\u003C\u002Fa>, lack of job control—the amount of discretion employees have to determine what they do and how they do it – creates a stressful environment that translates into health problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another issue that can contribute to stress is lack of work life balance. A recent \u003Ca href=\"\u002Febooks\u002Fpeople-cost-of-content\u002F\">study\u003C\u002Fa> commissioned by Canto revealed that 46% of marketers surveyed have worked late, 28% cut into their lunch break and 25% don’t have time to take a coffee break because they have lost too much time hunting for files needed to do their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To combat this, promote a work environment where employees feel ownership over their work and have the support they need to take care of their health. Many employers also invest in employee health programs as part of their benefit package, such as fitness stipends and counseling, and more companies are offering remote or flexible work opportunities to help employees balance their personal lives and careers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--3-provide-opportunities-to-learn-and-grow\">3.
