I’m hearing a lot of senior leaders frustrated right now by the recruiting process. It’s hard to find good people, and the longer it takes, the more their remaining staff are getting burned out from working short-staffed. In an environment like this, culture becomes incredibly important. Anyone you would consider top talent is going to care about the culture.

Customization and personalization is no longer a prized possession. It's expected when it comes to communicating with consumers. For associations, non-profits, and member-based groups—whose cornerstone value comes in the form of communication, content, and community —this 1:1 member communication is a must-have for marketers. The ability for members and customers to control the content that they receive, specifically through email, is invaluable to their satisfaction and your bottom line.

I don’t think the “what gets measured gets managed” quote is 100% true, but it frequently does apply to culture. Culture is often written off as too hard to define or too complex, so people give up on measuring it. Unfortunately, that often contributes to them ignoring culture all together, and the end result is a bunch of bad cultures.

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.
