SurveyMonkey
The famous 5 Love Languages—Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Physical Touch, and Gifts—were originally laid out by Gary Chapman, a philosophy PhD, author, and talk show host. Less famously, Chapman also wrote about the 5 Love Languages at work, the same 5 concepts—but office appropriate. When SurveyMonkey recently asked 'How do you most like to be appreciated by colleagues and leadership at work?' the top two answers were gifts and words of affirmation. On top of that, almost everyone (73%) uses words of affirmation to show their appreciation to colleagues.
