From the desk of... Mary Robinson Reynolds According to Webster's Dictionary, one definition of acknowledgment is an "admission of the truth about our true character." When people have the opportunity to reconnect with the qualities that make them valuable to others, they start to behave like people who are valued and appreciated. They exhibit a confidence grounded in self-worth that quickly translates into higher productivity. Acknowledgment is exponential in its reach. Nowhere is this more dramatically demonstrated than in the workplace. For at least the last 25 years, business surveys have reminded us that one of the main reasons employees voluntarily leave their jobs is that they do not feel valued for their contributions in human terms. Robert Half International Inc., for example, reports that as many as 25 percent of good employees who quit their jobs cite a lack of acknowledgment and appreciation as their reason. With the average national job turnover at 2.7 million a year, thanks in part to the lure of start-up companies, the problem is approaching a near-crisis level. When Inc. magazine announced its annual list of the five hundred fastest-growing companies in the nation, 47 percent of those named said that not being able to attract and keep qualified employees was their number one inhibitor to growth. The conclusion to be drawn is fairly simple: Employees who feel acknowledged for who they are and what they contribute tend to stay with their organizations. Those who don't, leave.
