Tabor College has incorporated The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace into our business course offerings to enhance the human resource curriculum. Many HR texts talk about the value of employee recognition and appreciation, but they don't address the need to look at the unique appreciation preferences of individual employees. HR departments are using one-size-fits-all recognition programs that are missing the mark for over half of their employees, which can make the recognition feel impersonal. Learning how to recognize the different appreciation preferences and how to develop authentic appreciation practices will help prepare Tabor's business students become better leaders who cultivate a culture of authentic appreciation.

As a manager and leader in business, understanding the individual differences on your team when it comes to motivation and appreciation is essential to being effective. The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace provides a wonderful framework for teaching future leaders practical tools they can start using at their organization immediately. This is why the book is included as a required text in the MBA class I'm currently teaching on Organizational Behavior. The students have responded positively to the material, reporting the content is both interesting and relevant practically to their daily work lives.
