Making your team feel valued and respected starts with little acts of kindness. Recognition is a consistent theme we see workers crave to keep them engaged at work. To help you with this, we've updated our social media recognition templates, including new layouts for days of importance like International Women's Day (IWD) and Employee Appreciation Day.
These templates are designed to help you celebrate and recognize the achievements of your team in a meaningful way. They can all be easily edited and adapted as needed to fit your own brand within PowerPoint—no design software needed.
Use them to commemorate staff member or team work accomplishments, anniversaries of employment, and professional milestones.
