If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up.

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.

They consider what they ask, why they ask it and they engage in the practice of Q&A regularly. We believe that listening to employees and understanding them is far more valuable than telling them what to do.
