@Taybrok : It's amazing how a simple thank you goes a long way. I think you're right - demonstrating appreciation is a simple way to influence employees' work experience. When you say this is one of the reasons there is a high rate of teachers in public education now, what reason are you referencing? Also, do you believe there is a difference between public and private education in terms of employee engagement, retention and/or attrition? Thanks for adding to the discussion.
