There’s a single point I make throughout my work in executive coaching, speaking, and writing: people are the most important asset of any business. Most people agree, at least on the surface. But too few are willing to carry out that principle in policies and day-to-day management. I recently conducted a study of my clients with for-profit businesses and found that most understand the importance of people but still put profits first.

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.
