Succession planning is critical to ensuring the talent gaps are short when a key player leaves or gets promoted. One of the great things about leading a high performing team is that people grow and they grow very quickly. The problem with that is they’re always looking for new opportunities. You’re always at risk of losing someone either to a promotion within the organization or they move on to bigger and better things outside of your company.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
