If you haven’t led a nonprofit website redesign process, your time is coming! In the corporate world, website redesigns every 18-36 months are not unusual. In the nonprofit sector, we often stretch that out to more like every 3-5 years. But many organizations also include rebrands or refreshes when doing a nonprofit website redesign. Those decisions can make the process last well over a year.

I’ve always been fascinated by the complexities of the mind and its influence on our behaviors. My college journey went on to start with a major in sociology – the study of human social behavior, a natural fit for someone intrigued by the mind and social society.

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.
