Driving Performance and Aligning Culture with Strategic Employee Recognition
Many organisations 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 personalised, is one of the most meaningful and cost-effective ways to rebuild trust, re-energise 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 organisations stay connected, engaged, and high-performing.
