“Without data, you’re just another person with an opinion”, is arguably Edward Deming’s best-known quote. It is impossible to improve at managing people if you do not measure the results of your work.

So in business, if you don’t measure your progress towards your HR goals, how will you know how successful you are?

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
