The need to be seen is very human. Just check David Rock’s work about human needs in social interactions. If we apply his model, we can connect the need to be seen to our need as humans for status and relatedness. Attending to your employees’ human need to be seen is one of the best investments you can make. Recognition is a tricky thing. Employee motivations can vary. The ways people want to be recognized can vary just as much.

Notifications on the devices are constantly craving for our attention. We check them when waiting at the traffic signal, while having the food, during meetings and while talking to our loved ones. Constant connection with technology is not allowing us to establish real connections with others.
