After that, if they are pretending, the veneer will come off in subsequent meetings in out-of-the office locations. Also, because most employees can only be successful in their jobs in different locations as well, it makes sense to witness your candidates in different settings.

But when considering business goals and development programs, employee development usually ends up at the bottom of the list. Why is that? Leaders are often constrained by time and resources. As a result, they end up focusing on short term to medium-term goals rather than the long term ones.

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