In episode 260, host Bernie Borges dives deep into one of the most overlooked (yet powerful) drivers of workplace engagement: recognition. If you’re looking to boost morale, deepen connections, and foster true fulfillment at work, this episode is for you.

Three Key Insights from the Episode:

1️⃣ Recognition is More Than Rewards: Bernie highlights the difference between recognition and rewards. While rewards are transactional (think hitting sales targets), recognition is relational. It’s about genuinely seeing and valuing the effort, growth, and care people put into their work.

2️⃣ Peer-to-Peer and Self-Recognition Matter: Recognition isn’t just top-down. Some of the most meaningful moments often come from peers. A simple thank you or acknowledgment can quickly transform team culture. Plus, self-recognition helps us appreciate our own growth, quieting the constant urge to keep moving without reflection.

3️⃣ Authentic Recognition Powers Retention: Bernie makes it clear: recognition, when consistent and authentic, builds identity and belonging. When people feel seen, loyalty and engagement rise. He shares that training leaders in this skill is essential for truly impactful recognition.

Main Takeaway:
Recognition isn’t a “nice to have." It’s a low-cost, high-impact lever for engagement, culture, and retention. Make it a habit, not just a holiday!
