Thnks, the first on-demand gratitude expression platform for
enterprises, SMBs, and individual contributors, today announced the
finalists for its annual 2024 Thnks Gratitude in Business
Awards™ program. New to the awards this year, Thnks will also

business building strategy.

Business Awards™ celebrate exceptional individuals who embody
Thnks' core values in creating a culture that promotes growing
business with gratitude. Finalists in the Individual category were
nominated by colleagues, partners, customers, or vendors for whom
they inspired professional growth and fostered positive workplace
cultures. Individuals were able to nominate their company for the
new Company category.

to do their best work towards achieving goals. Thnks has built a
technology that converts small acts of gratitude into lasting
business relationships that drive loyalty and revenue. These awards
