Does Your Team Speak The Same Language? Teams may have all the tools they need for communication, but our intentions and meanings don’t always come through as intended. Some of this can be attributed to different generations in the workforce, cultural backgrounds, and even the channels we choose to convey our message. Effective teams cut through the noise by developing a common language – general rules so to speak – of expected norms in the workplace.

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.
