TL;DR
Gallup research shows that only one in three employees strongly agree they received recognition or praise for doing good work during the past week, making them twice as likely to leave within the next year. Small gestures of kindness and appreciation are exceedingly rare.
According to research from Gallup, only one in three employees strongly agree they received recognition or praise for doing good work during the past week.
