Driving Performance and Aligning Culture with Strategic Employee Recognition
Many organizations are navigating a complex mix of burnout, lost productivity, and a growing disconnect in culture. The global workplace is still finding its footing, but we’re closer to where we want to be than we think.
Research from Achievers Workforce Institute shows a gap between how people feel and what they need : only 25% of employees feel productive, but over half say that recognition would help them get there. Recognition, when it’s frequent, sincere, and personalized, is one of the most meaningful and cost-effective ways to rebuild trust, re-energize teams, and align culture with performance.
Hear from Achievers’ Brie Harvey alongside Karen Spindler from Duracell and Amy Bayer from Duck Creek Technologies – two leaders who are putting recognition to work in very different, but equally powerful ways. From retaining top talent to supporting people leaders, they’ll share how recognition is helping their organizations stay connected, engaged, and high-performing.
Join us to learn
- Recognition strategies that boost engagement, productivity, connection, and culture
- Insights from Duracell and Duck Creek Technologies for securing leadership buy-in, measuring impact, and proving the return on investment of employee recognition programs
- Tips for supporting and developing effective people leaders
