Getting some sort of appreciation for good work is an inherent human need. Even a simple “thank you” at work goes a long way. Appreciating employees lets them know that their work is valued and important. Taking the time out to recognize your team member elevates their sense of loyalty and belonging to the company. Additionally, expressing appreciation for good work helps to build a work environment which is positive, motivating and engaging.

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.

Of all the worries, negative thoughts, and stress you experienced yesterday, how much of that carried over into today? If you don’t like your answer, don’t worry—this is common. In fact, we all form the same subconscious thought patterns, day after day, training our brains without even realizing it. This can form what we call a “ neurological rut ,” and creates a negative bias within our default mindset.
