of Gratitude Increase Loyalty If you feel unappreciated at work then you’re more likely to take sick days, do the bare minimum or even quit to seek a job where you will be appreciated. However, if you’re already receiving the recognition you deserve then you’re more likely to put in your best efforts, stay in your current position and even progress within the company. This is why it’s so important, if you’re in a management role, to ensure you’re showing gratitude towards your employees.

Become a Better Leader It’s crucial that the culture of gratitude is advocated by those in management to set an example and encourage the same behaviour throughout the company. If you’re the manager make sure that your gifts of gratitude are genuine and specific to your employees. For instance, rather than sending a thank you email to everyone involved in a project, take the time to approach your employees in person and individually. If you don’t or you only offer praise in front of your superiors to make yourself look good, your so-called gratitude will appear false and your employees will soon lose respect for you, likely resulting in a lack of productivity. In order to make the hiring process as fair as possible, there are several things recruiters are not allowed to ask you during an interview. This is to avoid you being discounted on any grounds other than your suitability to perform tasks related to the job. It’s important to be aware of what questions you cannot be asked so that you know what information you don’t have to disclose.

Advice:
The interviewer is not allowed to ask you about: - Your religious views. - Your marital status. - Your maiden name/s. - Your native language. - Your parental ancestry or place of birth. - The number of children you have or the ages of your children.
You may feel that you were asked an illegal interview question by accident. In this case you can just politely state that you would prefer not to say. If you feel you are being probed or judged for not answering, the best way to answer is in a legal way. For example, if asked about your place of birth, you could reply by saying; ‘I am eligible to work in the UK.’ This way, you have provided the employer with all the information that they should need without going into personal details.
