Like most birthdays when you get older, I’ll celebrate in some way with my family and friends, but for the most part I’ll treat it like most other days: focused on the mission of transformation. But that doesn’t mean I won’t reflect on my life and what I’ve been blessed to accomplish over its course.

Cut that aspect off, and we are looking at a person who would rarely go above and beyond or even be satisfied enough to feel loyalty towards their place of work. To put in mildly, you’ll now have a disengaged employee at hand.

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.
