Easy & Meaningful Ways to Say Thank You

Sometimes the best way to thank someone is also the simplest. Read on for some easy and meaningful ways to express gratitude. 

‍

Reciprocate

Have you ever had a neighbor shovel your driveway while you were away? Or have a friend watch your kids when an emergency popped up? For any act of kindness or show of support, say thank you by offering to return the favor. It’s important to note that you don’t have to reciprocate with the same exact favor; simply let someone know that you’re willing to help them whenever they need it.

‍

Pay it Forward

When someone performs a good deed and you offer to return the favor, sometimes they’ll politely refuse. If this happens, it’s best to perform an act of kindness for someone else. The person who refused your offer will be happy to know that their good deed inspired you to pay it forward so that another can benefit from their goodwill!

‍

Spread the Word

Did an employee go above and beyond for a project? Did a friend help you when you were in a pinch? Let others know! Whether it’s through a company-wide email or social media platform, share what this person did and why you’re grateful. The recipient will appreciate the acknowledgement and your good news might motivate others to do and be their best.
