Made-it moments: celebrating even the small successes
Research from Xero reveals that recognizing milestones, even small ones, is good for business: it boosts employee morale, improves wellbeing, and positively impacts business performance. It makes a compelling case for a celebration.
What we found: when and why businesses celebrate and why some don’t
Here's what small business owners from seven countries told us.
- Over three quarters of small business owners say celebrating achievements boosts employee morale.
- A majority say it improves wellbeing and over two thirds believe it positively impacts business performance.
- But one in five small businesses don’t celebrate at all, mainly because they’ve never thought about it, they worry about costs, or fear setting a precedent.
