Poor planning can lead to excessive workloads that eventually result in burnout, affecting morale, productivity, and performance. Additionally, workload imbalance or key roles remaining vacant can cause deadlines to slip and engagement to drop.

But in todays increasingly complex and uncertain world, perhaps the real work leaders should be focusing on is rethinking how and why their organizations operate the way they do.

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.
