Jennifer Rosenzweig, Global Employee Practice Leader - Carlson Marketing | September 30, 2009

As a leader in designing and executing programs that engage and motivate employees, Carlson Marketing constantly seeks innovative ways to add power to their solutions. In a new study, Carlson Marketing explored the impact expressions of gratitude have on happiness, and in turn whether happiness impacts relationship strength. What they learned was that gratitude does in fact trigger positive emotions not only for the receiver of the gratitude, but for the giver as well.
