We’ve reached the finale of Season 1—and we’re wrapping things up with a topic that sits at the heart of retention: recognition.

In this episode, we dig into why employees really leave when they don’t feel valued, and how the success of any recognition effort—big or small—comes down to clear communication and mutual expectations.

We explore creative, meaningful ways to build a culture of appreciation that doesn’t always require a bigger budget—just a better approach.

If you’re ready to rethink rewards and recognition with intention and impact, this episode is your roadmap.
