Stop Treating Recognition Like a December Thing

Recognition isn't a holiday bonus. It's not even a "special day" thing. It's an every-month, every-week, sometimes every-day thing that separates companies people stay at from companies they leave.

This playbook covers the programs good companies actually run: anniversaries, birthdays, training rewards, safety incentives, wellness programs, and seasonal worker retention.
