Without talented and dedicated people, a business is little more than a great idea. While this seems obvious, companies didn’t always focus on employee performance management to stimulate growth and satisfaction as they do now. Developments in this area over the last few years have brought this truism home like never before. Low unemployment rates and a critical need for technological skills have created a war for talent.

Some of you may not know this, but I've been writing this blog for over 10 years now, which of course, means that you end up covering a lot of different topics and ideas around leadership.

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.

If you’re not familiar with the selection process for these high-profile lists, the main thing to know is that many of them rely heavily on anonymous surveys and employee interviews. The idea is to scratch beneath the surface to better understand how employees really feel about their workplace cultures.
