Typically, when people think of diversity, they think of physical traits such as the color of one’s skin or physical abilities/incapabilities, etc. But diversity is much more than this. It is about appreciating our differences and including others that may have a different perspective or point of view. Our experiences, upbringings, education, and so many other things shape how we think, act, and feel—all of which make us diverse.

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.

So, your manager told you that they’ll be bringing in someone else above you. In other words, you’re getting layered. This refers to a situation where an additional layer of management is inserted between you and your current reporting line. Essentially, it means that someone else is hired or promoted to a position above you. They become your new direct supervisor and you now report to them instead of your previous boss.
