Years ago, there was no such thing as employee recognition. Our parents and grandparents had no real concept of what it was to feel appreciated at work. You got a job, you did it, and you came home—every day for 40 years. But perhaps that’s why we’ve seen the alarming burnout rates and poor cultures of some companies today. And maybe that’s why today’s employees want a career they’re not only awake for, but proactively energized about.
