When a company takes the time to understand how its employees of different ages and backgrounds need to feel recognized, it increases its chances of engagement and retention. Engagement and retention however, can’t be forced or bought. While adequate monetary compensation is a necessary precondition of engagement, employees are looking for much more out of work than money. Learn how recognition fosters employee happiness, engagement and retention.

To learn more about the the correlation between recognition and retention and performance, read Sodexo's blog post Recognition by any other name at [www.sodexoinsights.com](http://sodexoinsights.com/recognition-by-any-other-name/).
