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.

Why Increase Engagement Through Trust? We think of employee engagement as the strength of the mental and emotional connection employees feel toward their places of work. The stronger that positive connection, the less likely employees are to leave. Additionally, engaged employees who have a clear line of sight and have positive feelings toward their manager are over 40% more productive than their disengaged counterparts — reason enough to want to increase engagement.

Workplace disrespect occurs more frequently than we would like to believe. It often leads to severe consequences that affect the overall productivity of an organization, affecting employees' and employers' mental health badly. Most of the time, employees' lack of respect for one another is attributable to management's lack of respect for them. Thus, management and employers must lead by example, prioritizing respect in the workplace.
