If you’re a big fan of the book, The 5 Love Languages (like me), you know how this simple principle starts to open up BIG revelations about the people in your life… your partner, your kids, your parents, your friends, everyone. But have you ever thought about how the 5 Love Languages could translate to the workplace?

My guest, author Dr. Paul White simplifies how to apply the 5 love languages at work

Dr. Paul White co-authored The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace with Dr Gary Chapman. And today, he’s simplifying how to apply the The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts whilst at work.

He believes this is the secret to creating a healthy work culture where everyone on your team feels truly valued and appreciated.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What the 5 Love Languages are and how they translate into the “5 Languages of Appreciation” when in the workplace
• Why appreciation is so (darn) important at work… (spoiler alert: not everyone is motivated by more money!)
• What the difference is between employee appreciation vs. recognition
• What the warning signs are that a team member is not happy and what you can do to course correct the situation
• How to apply this principle when working with Millennials and Gen-Z team members. Plus how to effectively manage remote and long distance teams
• How to (ultimately) create a vibrant workplace and not a toxic one

Just the same as the 5 Love Languages, don’t expect your co-workers to feel appreciated in the exact same way as each other.

Dr. Paul teaches us how to express genuine appreciation to each of your co-workers and staff, even if you’re working on a tight budget. And over time, he believes this will increase loyalty, reduce cynicism and create a more positive work environment. All fascinating stuff!
