Delta's Billion-Dollar Thank You: A Masterclass In Employee Appreciation And Gratitude
PeopleTek News, Friday, February 23rd, 2024
It's not unusual for us to talk about the need to have a desirable work culture, the need to build and sustain relationships, and the need for rewards and recognition for a job well done.
Showing gratitude can vary greatly; from a simple 'thank-you' effort, to a prime parking spot, theatre tickets, team building events, travel perks, and of course pay raises and bonuses, but Delta has done something extraordinary this year: They have paid their employees over $1 billion dollars in profit sharing. (A reported $1.4 billion to be exact).
More than 100,000 Delta employees received a one-time bonus of roughly 10% of their annual salary, and although this is certainly special, it's the seventh time Delta has paid more than $1 billion in profit sharing. Now that's gratitude!
