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.

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.
