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.

We are happy to report that Fannie Mae has created a new online tool to help associations become aware of their “Fannie Mae” eligibility status. Being “Fannie Mae Qualified” is important, as it allows individual consumers to get the most attractive mortgage terms (rates). Lenders like to sell mortgages in the association to Fannie Mae, enhancing their liquidity (having more cash on hand to lend), and thus enhancing their ability to make more mortgages available to other consumers.

A confident CEO is a good thing: Not only can they serve as an inspiration to a team, they can move markets. A recent EY report on CEO confidence notes that much of the global economy turns on leaders’ decisions in the face of risk. “History shows that a lack of confidence among business leaders can significantly contribute to or worsen economic downturns,” the report says.
