How Recognition Fuels Retention and Culture

Seen, Heard, Valued: How Recognition Fuels Retention and Culture

9:00 am PT/12:00 pm ET
November 20, 2025

Employees want more than a paycheck—they want to feel that their contributions matter. Recognition is one of the most powerful drivers of morale, engagement, and retention, but leaders often struggle with making it authentic, consistent, and scalable.

In this interactive panel, Seen, Heard, Valued: Why Recognition Drives Retention and Culture, we’ll explore how companies of all sizes can create cultures of gratitude and appreciation that make employees feel truly valued.

You’ll hear from three leaders representing a range of industries and perspectives:

  • Odette Lindheim, Head of People at Nourish, will share how the company has built recognition and values into its culture from day one—fostering belonging, engagement, and performance.
  • Linda Quijano, Organizational and Leadership Development Manager at State Fund, will discuss how the organization leverages robust recognition programs to keep its diverse workforce motivated, connected, and engaged.
  • Maggie Sass, Ph.D., EVP of Content, Research, and Professional Services at TalentSmartEQ, will provide insights on the emotional intelligence behind meaningful recognition, sharing how leaders can ensure employees feel seen, valued, and appreciated.

Whether you lead a small team or manage recognition programs across thousands of employees, you’ll leave with actionable strategies to recognize your people in ways that drive commitment and retention.

From Reflection to Intention

From Reflection to Intention: Setting Yourself Up for Success in 2026

9:00 am PST/12:00 pm EST
December 18, 2025

This isn’t a typical year-end webinar — it’s an experience.

Emotional intelligence grows when we pause long enough to notice what’s really happening — in ourselves and around us. Before we race into a new year, join Dr. Sheri Duchock, TalentSmartEQ’s Director of Training, for an experiential session designed to help you reflect, refocus, and recharge.

Together, we’ll explore the lessons, accomplishments, and emotions that defined your 2025 and transform them into powerful intentions for 2026. Through guided reflection and engaging activities, you’ll uncover meaningful insights about your emotions and identify the EQ habits that will help you start the new year strong.

You’ll leave with clarity, renewed motivation, and a personal framework for approaching 2026 with intention and purpose.
