We used to just call them “mental health days.” Those days when you just need to get some separation from the daily grind, refresh yourself, and do whatever it takes to get a break from multitasking and workplace tech. Of course, now we understand more clearly the link between employee happiness and outcomes like higher engagement, increased productivity, and business growth.

Over the last several years a performance management revolution has taken place, and businesses are now focusing more on the growth and wellbeing of their employees. This has led to the implementation of employee development programs that annually cost companies hundreds of billions of dollars. While it makes sense to respond to employees’ desires for growth in the workplace, many executives still grapple with how to improve the effectiveness of these programs.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

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.

Employee Engagement Myths. Unfortunately as the field of engagement grows, employee engagement myths also seem to be on the rise. Some reports would have you believe that 7 out of 8 American workers are disengaged. That’s a staggering statistic! But should we believe it? We don’t think so. Those numbers are exaggerated. Most of the workforce is not disengaged.
