This can form what we call a “ neurological rut ,” and creates a negative bias within our default mindset.

Recognition is relevant and effective only when it is done right. And the right way to give recognition is for it to be frequent and timely in nature. With the corporate world seeing major changes, the workload has significantly increased. In addition to that, employees are putting in extra work with less or no recognition being given to them. This increases the chances of your employees getting overwhelmed and leaving for the greener pastures.

Why You Should Challenge Corporate Learners. While people report that learning is not that hard, most admit that being a beginner at something can be very difficult, embarrassing, and intimidating – especially when we want to be seen as being competent and confident.
