It’s no secret: positive reinforcement sparks positive results. Just ask the guy who did the famous rice experiment. The rice labeled “thank you” thrives, while the rice labeled “you fool” rots.

In response to the cringe-worthy raucous of Black Friday, the world celebrated “Giving Tuesday” this week, soliciting millions in charitable donations from do-gooders across the globe. But those gracious givers may have been in it for something other than a selfless helping hand—as it turns out, “Giving Tuesday” is actually a day to be selfish !

Employee recognition is easy. It means paying attention to the good stuff and calling it out. It’s as simple as an authentic “Thank you,” or an employee-run rewards system. Because of it, employees feel seen, valued, and proud. But to stressed higher-ups, employee recognition can seem like another grueling task to maintain. With a heavy workload, inspiration falls way, way down to the “I’ll-get-to-it-later” pile.

'A Bersin by Deloitte study has shown that organizations with highly effective employee development plans have about twice the revenue per employee as organizations with poor plans.
