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.

A measure of my ever-increasing age is my recollection of the oft-repeated phrase "knee high by the fourth of July." Farmers in my youth were apt to predict the success of their crop by how tall the corn was at mid-season, the Fourth of July.
