Extensive research has indicated the benefits of showing gratitude to those around you, including your colleagues or employees. However, a new study suggests that the timing of these expressions can make a big difference. Through two experiments and an analysis of a top hospital’s intensive care units, researchers found that when you express gratitude to others before they engage in a distressing task it helps counteract some of the negative emotions associated with the task.

Retaining top talent is crucial for any organization’s success. However, even the most skilled and dedicated employees can become disillusioned if their leaders exhibit certain detrimental habits. While many leaders focus on attracting top performers, it’s equally important to recognize the behaviors that can drive them away. Understanding these leadership pitfalls is essential for fostering a thriving workplace where top talent can excel and feel valued.
Speaker: Radhika Samant and Todd Wuestenberg
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.
