RDI has a fast-paced working environment where things are constantly in a state of change. National Employee Appreciation Day is not the only day we take time to show our love. It is however a reminder for all of us how important it is to take the time each and every day to show our appreciation. While the BBQs and prize giveaways are a great way to show our love, our relationships are still the key.
The easiest way to build those relationships is to INVEST the time. Building long-lasting, meaningful relationships take time just like anything else worth INVESTing in. Making time for someone can have a greater IMPACT in building a relationship than any physical rewards. It shows that we are committed to them and value them.
When you are INVESTing the time and really listening, you are building trust which is as most of you know, is the foundation to any good relationship. When our team members begin to trust us, they will feel more comfortable and willing to open up. It is important that you continue to reINVEST at this point by lifting them up with recognition and appreciation. The biggest difference from recognition you may have done in the past is that it is more meaningful because of the stronger connection.
Every relationship involves taking that all-important first step. Your relationship with money and investing is no different. To learn more, select one of the topics below, or explore the full course sequence. All courses are designed to fit your busy lifestyle.

As a result of business environment reforms in China's Hangzou, the cost of business has reduced, the confidence of Hangzhou enterprises has survived the COVID-19 outbreak, and foreign investment continues to increase. Nevertheless, Hangzhou's business environment has shortcomings, such as insufficient technology, talent, and intelligent infrastructure. Two unresolved questions persist: (i) Has the smart business environment stimulated corporate investment by reducing system costs and boosting corporate confidence? (ii) How do the commercial climate's shortcomings impact the relationship between the intelligent business environment and business costs/confidence? We examined the impact of a local smart business environment on the corporate investment scale in Hangzhou using factor analysis, cluster analysis, linear regression, and path analyses of data from 297 firm managers. Smart governance improved public administration, financing, and rule of law. The business environment promoted investment by increasing business confidence and decreasing institutional costs. Weak intelligent property protection and legal fairness hindered the positive influence of smart governance on business confidence and system costs. This is the first study combining business environment, smart city, and smart governance concepts to analyze the influence of local smart business environments on business confidence, institutional costs, and investment. Our conclusion on the limitation effect of intelligent business environment on enterprise investment attempts to inspire further research on the intersection of business environments and smart cities. The law of intelligent business environment attracting investment obtained in the context of China, the largest developing country with diversified economic development, is of great significance for other developing countries. Countries can attract investment and promote economic development through intelligent governance. Developing countries should construct smart service platforms, coordinate supervision of public credit, reduce financing constraint, construct a government under the rule of law, improve the quality of land management, and protect intellectual property rights.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have shown that pea plants are able to make smart investment decisions when it comes to interactions with their symbiotic bacterial partners. Better understanding of how plants manage these interactions could help with the move towards sustainable agriculture.
The new research, published in PNAS, shows that a plant weighs up the different bacterial partners, and then only provides sugar to the best available strains; cutting off those that are less good. This means that the plant must be able to compare different strains and invest accordingly: a strain that looks like a good investment in one context, might be a poor choice in another.
This study used a novel approach by engineering a bacterial strain that was intermediate in its ability to provide nitrogen. The plants treated this strain differently depending on which other strains were available. When the only choice was a strain that provided no nitrogen at all, then the plant invested in the intermediate strain. But, when a really good strain was available, the plant cut off investment to the intermediate strain.
