When people are proud, they don't stop with just good enough. When people are proud, they search for opportunities to contribute, to make a difference, to model the way. When people are proud, they manage themselves and require less oversight from leaders. When people are proud, they convey a deep conviction and a contagious enthusiasm. When people are proud, they do things because they want to, not because they have to.

The term ‘member engagement’ is often bandied about in the association world. More of it is considered better yet we rarely state what that actually means. I thought I would put a stake in the ground with my definition of it in the work I do with clients.

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.
