Retain Top Talent

Here's a contrarian view of why self-run internal employee recognition programs fail. Granted, the authors are biased since they are recommending their software SaaS model. However, I've see an extraordinary explosion in some very good SaaS apps for companies to more effectively manage employee engagement - apps for tracking success factors, projects, recognition programs, employee satisfaction, and many others.

Is now a good time to look at some of these app-based tools as many of your team members are remote?

Interesting article distinguishing between recognition and appreciation. Most companies have some form of minimal recognition initiatives, yet very few focus on the element of appreciation. Is your lack of appreciation and gratitude undermining your employee engagement and ability to retain to top performers?
