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.

Salesforce’s “State of Sales” report surveyed 5,500 sales professionals earlier this year. Two findings caught my attention.

I have a number of friends who are wealthier than me, and I certainly see strangers who look like they have some things I don't, but it often doesn't take long to see the holes in any desire for their life: They may be divorced or have an awful marriage, and I can see it in their slumped shoulders or fear wh
