Best of 2024: Unforgettable LinkedIn Posts That Made an Impact

We are dedicating all of December to returning what you found most valuable! We are honoured to serve 5000 subscribers to our Greatness Magnified LinkedIn newsletter. What trended over there on our fav social network? I’m glad you asked! This week, we’re sharing your favourite LinkedIn posts of 2024. Let’s dive in. 

#5: Combatting Workforce Shortages

With workforce shortages commonplace in many sectors, organizations must continue to get creative to fill these gaps. We share how one association is leveraging the exponential power of recognition to recruit and retain employees in their sector, which is in dire need of great people. 

Creating a recognition-rich environment can attract candidates looking for more than just a job. Be the workplace where people feel a sense of belonging and connection and know their work matters.

#4: Thank You Card Hack

Where do you keep your thank you cards? Tucked away in a drawer, pinned on a bulletin board, or maybe you haven’t thought about them in a while? Here’s a little hack: keep those gratitude notes where you can easily see them. For Sarah, it’s a bookmark. What is it for you?

Thank you cards are more than just paper—they’re powerful reminders of the impact you’ve had on others. Whenever you need a boost or a reminder of your greatness, look back at those words of appreciation to recharge your confidence and motivation.

#3: Valuing Diversity in Education

What exactly makes a degree “practical” today? Education isn’t just about career preparation—it inspires, broadens horizons, and shapes young minds. Sarah sees this firsthand with her daughter Simonne, who’s studying Psychology (in fact, her studies inspired the two of them to start a podcasttogether). 

No matter the major or area of study, education holds immense value. The key is not to see there is only one way to learn, grow, and evolve. Gone are the days when a university education guaranteed the best income. Gone is the desire that generations follow in each other’s professional footsteps. Gone are the days when we pick one career for life. Let’s lean into this with curiosity, equity, and respect.

Let them know you see their hard work and appreciate their effort, or remind them of a recent moment when they truly shined. 

In less than 60 seconds, you’ve made someone feel seen and appreciated, and that impact will last far beyond that moment.

#1: Your Two Most Engaged Employees

Do you know who your two most engaged employees are? This might surprise you: your cheerleaders and your complainers. Cheerleading and complaining are both signs of engagement. If your employees care enough to complain, they’re invested in their job and the organization. 

A complaint is merely a poorly worded request. Are you leveraging the greatness hidden behind a “scratchy” delivery? The “forever” part of Forever Recognize Others’ Greatness means we don’t only appreciate, listen to, and leverage people when they have a “positive polish.” Everyone has value, so let’s not rule out a complaint and squash engagement.
