Una receta colombiana sencilla y deliciosa: Arepas de Queso. Es una receta tradicional y fácil de preparar, ideal para practicar español.

Arepas de Queso

Ingredientes:

2 tazas de harina de maíz precocida (preferiblemente harina PAN)
1 1/2 tazas de agua tibia
1 taza de queso rallado (puede ser queso blanco, mozzarella, o el queso de tu preferencia)
1 cucharadita de sal
Mantequilla al gusto (para cocinar y para servir)

Instrucciones:

Preparar la masa: En un bol grande, mezcla la harina de maíz con la sal. Luego, añade poco a poco el agua tibia mientras mezclas con las manos hasta obtener una masa homogénea y suave. La masa no debe ser ni muy seca ni muy húmeda. Si está muy seca, añade un poco más de agua; si está muy húmeda, agrega un poco más de harina.

Agregar el queso: Incorpora el queso rallado a la masa y mezcla bien hasta que esté distribuido uniformemente.

Formar las arepas: Divide la masa en porciones iguales (alrededor de 6-8 porciones, dependiendo del tamaño que desees). Forma bolas con cada porción y luego aplánalas con las manos hasta obtener discos de aproximadamente 1 cm de grosor.

Cocinar las arepas: Calienta una sartén grande a fuego medio y agrega un poco de mantequilla. Cocina las arepas en la sartén, aproximadamente 5-7 minutos por cada lado, hasta que estén doradas y crujientes por fuera, y el queso se haya derretido en el interior.

Servir: Sirve las arepas calientes con un poco de mantequilla por encima. ¡Disfruta!

I hope that you will find value in this podcast.

How to prepare for RETIREMENT?

Lack of recognition occurs when an individual’s contributions, achievements, or hard work go unacknowledged or unrewarded. This oversight can significantly impact employee motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction. When employees feel undervalued, they may experience decreased morale, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Recognition is a fundamental human need, and its absence can create a negative work environment. Organizations that fail to recognize their employees' efforts risk damaging their employer brand and hindering their ability to attract and retain top talent. Effective recognition programs are essential for fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.

Examples:

Overlooking achievements: Failing to acknowledge employee accomplishments.

Inequitable rewards: Distributing rewards unfairly or inconsistently.

Lack of public acknowledgment: Not recognizing employees in front of peers.

Ignoring employee feedback: Disregarding employee suggestions or ideas.

Insufficient appreciation: Failing to express gratitude for employees' contributions.

Employees feeling undervalued should take proactive steps. This might involve documenting accomplishments, seeking feedback on performance, and initiating conversations with supervisors about career goals and recognition expectations. It's essential to maintain a professional and constructive approach, focusing on the impact of their work rather than personal feelings.  Ultimately, advocating for oneself is crucial in a work environment where recognition might be lacking.

Addressing lack of recognition requires a multifaceted approach. Organizations should implement formal recognition programs, provide opportunities for peer-to-peer recognition, and create a culture where appreciation is valued. By investing in employee recognition, organizations can reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction, improved employee engagement, and enhanced organizational performance.
