In 2022, 65% of American workers reported they did not receive any form of recognition in their workplace. Globally, businesses lost approximately nine trillion dollars in revenue due to a lack of motivation. Roughly 120,000 employees quit their jobs every day, costing U.S. companies around $2.9 million to find replacement workers.
Luckily, there is hope.
Seventy five percent of employees say they would feel satisfied with their job if they received at least one piece of recognition per month. Plus, peer-to-peer recognition equates to an increase of approximately 35.7% in financial results.
