According to Ulrich, this value is all about how to win the market because without a win by the company, there are no jobs.

Positive intent sounds like a good idea. As we go through our day, we generally have a positive intent in what we do, right? And yet, we sometimes wonder about others.

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.
