Companies benefit from appreciating employees

March 8, 2008

O.C. Tanner employees don't break out their best dance moves for just any occasion. But on Friday, 1,600 employees gathered in the company cafeteria to dance the "O.C. Tanner Adulation Jiggity-Jig," a group dance that was led by CEO Kent Murdock in honor of National Employee Appreciation Day.

The day was started in 1995 by Recognition Professionals International, a nonprofit association dedicated to increasing employee recognition. It is celebrated on the first Friday in March.
