Exploring the Cost Savings of Recognition (and the Cost of Doing Nothing)
Gallup and Workhuman's research highlights the significant cost of neglecting recognition and employee wellbeing. Employees who feel undervalued are five times more likely to disengage, and workplaces that ignore wellbeing face millions in opportunity and turnover costs. Companies with low wellbeing experience up to $20 million in performance losses and $16.1 million in turnover costs for every 10,000 employees. While pay and flexible schedules aren't enough, strategic recognition boosts intrinsic motivation, improves engagement, and reduces burnout. A lack of recognition harms workplace culture, quality, and safety, making recognition a critical business investment.
