Tamworth business thanks staff with half-day leave to mark Employee Appreciation Day

A Tamworth-based business is recognising the value of its team this year by giving employees the opportunity to book a half-day off as a thank you for their hard work.

Cloud Accounting Support Services (CASS), based in Tamworth, introduced the initiative to mark Employee Appreciation Day, allowing staff to take some time back when it suits them.

The gesture reflects growing awareness among employers that recognising staff contributions plays a key role in motivation and retention.

Research shows that 88 per cent of British employees say they work harder when they feel appreciated at work, yet nearly one in five UK workers say they have never been thanked by their employer.

Paul Barnes, managing director of Cloud Accounting Support Services, said: “Running a business is always a team effort and we’re incredibly grateful for the hard work our staff put in every day to support our clients.

“Offering the team a half-day off that they can book when it suits them felt like a simple but genuine way to say thank you and recognise the effort they consistently bring to the business.”
