It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change. -Charles Darwin. Darwin might not have quoted the above line with respect to business, but his words seem to echo in the business world, now more than ever. And managing people is no exception. Employee engagement is a very abstract concept. It is the “emotional connect” that an employee feels towards its organization.

Outside the dressing room, the manager “trained” a new employee on the store's theft procedures in a loud voice. Inside the dressing room, two African American women were trying on clothes. One of the women came out and expressed how upset she was at the insinuation she was stealing. In response, she and her friend were asked to leave the store and then security was called.

For years, leaders in the HR/Management space, academics, and top business minds have all sought to define organizational culture. They have largely failed. This is, of course, no easy task. Culture is nebulous, something that we feel but just can’t put a name to. It’s like the immortal soul. We can’t point to it, and some say that it doesn’t exist, but who can deny that there is something magical and mysterious about our lives?

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Getting some sort of appreciation for good work is an inherent human need. Even a simple “thank you” at work goes a long way. Appreciating employees lets them know that their work is valued and important. Taking the time out to recognize your team member elevates their sense of loyalty and belonging to the company. Additionally, expressing appreciation for good work helps to build a work environment which is positive, motivating and engaging.

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.

We all know how technology enables communication – email, voicemail, text message, instant message, Twitter. the list goes on. There are more than enough ways to communicate, and too often they add up to message overload for employees. That’s why when something is important, nothing compares to face-to-face communication. When a leader needs to inspire people—or move them to action—the best way to do it is to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what they need to know.
