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.

The way we work is rapidly evolving amid societal and industry changes in a post-pandemic world. One shift I’m seeing is the rise of those I call the “Autonomists”—highly skilled professionals who are opting out of traditional employment structures in favor of independent, project-based work. The movement signals a new era of work, one where professionals value autonomy over security and innovation over tradition.

A ten-week series on things you should know about fundraising. Belief is enough. You don’t have to educate donors how your programs work. That’s not only unnecessary, it’s counter-productive. Tested again and again, showering donors with facts and “how it works” decreases response. When you explain, you encourage donors’ analytic, “error-seeking” mind to fire up — and fundraisers almost always lose out when donors are thinking that way.

The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best. The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.

Think of your favorite movie or TV show. While you might not remember every character arc and plot point, you remember how that movie or show made you feel. The best forms of media elicit emotions: joy, sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, or a combination of them. Studies show that we’re more likely to remember emotional stimuli, in part due to connections between the amygdala—a brain area related to emotional processes—and the hippocampus—a brain area related to memory processes.
