When an employer hires, he is not just adding a new member to the organization, he is also forming an employee and employer link. Employers and employees who successfully grow a steady relationship are more likely to be happy and loyal to each other. The degree of closeness in these relationships depends on both the employer and the employee. When some employers choose to follow the line of hierarchy, others opt to create a friendly bond.

One of the reasons you want to interview people in three different places is that candidates will usually be at their very best in the first interview (likely in your office ). After that, if they are pretending, the veneer will come off in subsequent meetings in out-of-the office locations.

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.
