Do you compliment your coworkers for their good job? Or, when you are in a team, do you recognize your coworker’s efforts? If you do, then how often? We invest most of our time and energy at work, yet more often we treat each other like outsiders. And when it comes to verbal compliments, most of us lack in that effort, even though we know that it doesn’t cost us any money.

Psychological safety in today's workplaces has been garnering a lot of attention as leaders and organizations look for ways to boost productivity and retention in their workplace. But is our understanding of this concept too narrow? Are we missing out on real opportunities to not just fuel engagement and collaboration, but innovation and untapped growth opportunities?

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.
