Impact of Employee Encouragement

The research team has curated five statistics that demonstrate the positive impact of investing in employee encouragement for companies and their employees. In particular, the research team identified several statistics that are specifically relevant to the association between employee encouragement and both employee development and corporate culture. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that while substantial data exists on tangential subjects, such as employee recognition, relatively little quantitative information is available in the public domain that relates to employee encouragement.

Employee Development

Corporate Culture

  • Although the larger link between employee encouragement and corporate culture is less well-established in the public domain, employee engagement and business intelligence firm Team River discussed how employee encouragement can make a company's workplace a more "enjoyable place to be."
  • Specifically, Team River found in 2020 that 50% of American employees believe that "thanks, praise and encouragement from their managers" strengthens corporate culture by improving working relationships with supervisors and "building trust" with their corporate leadership.

Other Impacts

  • Meanwhile, the Society for Human Resource Management also revealed information that provides further insight into the relevance of employee encouragement within corporations.
  • Specifically, the institution discovered that approximately 30% of American adults "fear looking dumb or incompetent" within their workplaces, two concerns that can be somewhat tempered through encouragement from a manager.
