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.

When a team member comes to you with a question, instead of providing immediate solutions, you can facilitate the problem-solving process, which can help your team develop judgment and ownership. Its okay to take time to think before responding, as thoughtful deliberation is a sign of strong leadership.
