Gratitude, Recognition, and Employee Appreciation Together (GREAT)

GREAT at U of G is an initiative designed to foster gratitude, recognition and appreciation for all faculty and staff at the University.  We are inspired by a shared vision of a positive and inclusive work environment that acknowledges the immeasurable contributions of our faculty and staff.  Research has consistently indicated that practices of gratitude, recognition, and appreciation in organizations can have a significant impact on employee wellness, retention, and engagement.

Our objectives are to educate our community on why and how to practice gratitude, recognition and appreciation, to facilitate those practices through the provision of easy-to-use tools, ideas and platforms, and to connect our U of G community to each other to share great ideas and inspiration. Here, we can be GREAT together!
