Recently a spate of articles in the Wall Street Journal, AXIOS, and many others have written about so-called “Quiet Quitting” and the rise of the disengaged workers, especially amongst the older Gen Z set and younger Millennials, both now in their mid to late 20s. Part of the argument is that “not going the extra mile” and just doing the “bare minimum” work to keep your job is evidence that younger workers are disengaged 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.

Association execs consume – and produce – a lot of research in our day-to-day work, but most of us don’t have formal training in research. A lot of the language of research programs– p-values and confidence intervals and margins of error – can be pretty jargony, and some of the concepts behind what makes for good (or less good) research can be challenging for people who haven’t had the opportunity to take a graduate level methods course.
