In our polarized political landscape, employees increasingly find that they hold moral beliefs that conflict with the laws and regulations they are subject to at work. New research suggests that when workers feel this conflict between their moral beliefs and legal regulations, they’re less likely to take problems into their own hands, raise suggestions to improve work procedures, or champion new ideas.

Improvements in technology have made deepfakes — fraudulent audio, video, and images — easier than ever to create. As a result, 2024 has seen a nearly 60% surge in phishing attacks. These attacks hijack our perceptions and our ability to distinguish fiction from reality. They work because they manipulate our brains in ways we’re naturally vulnerable to.

Employee engagement can enhance productivity by 18% and profitability by 23%. It is also worth noting that engaged workers are 78% less likely to be absent. Thus, in today's highly competitive world, it is not only wise but also of utmost importance to develop a culture of engagement. However, owing to such encouraging figures, even in the most recent 2024 Gallup data, only 23% of workers could be categorized as engaged at their workplaces.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
