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.

By Lilian Coral In March of 2023, the CEOs of top AI companies penned a letter comparing the risk of extinction from artificial intelligence (AI) to the risk of nuclear war. The letter succeeded in making headlines, dredging up imagery from the Terminator franchise, but it failed to steer the world’s approach to AI in a helpful direction. In fact, many of the ideas around what AI can achieve has been influenced by the notion that it’s as powerful as a nuclear weapon.

I feel like: I’m working all the time, but not getting that much accomplished. I’m working on 10 projects at once, but none get finished. My ‘to-do’ list never gets completed.
