Building a Culture of Recognition Beyond Employee Appreciation Week
In 2026, global companies struggle with engagement dips and retention woes. Achievers Workforce Institute’s 2026 Engagement and Retention Report shows that only 25% of employees feel appreciated at work. During Employee Appreciation Week, this gap is an important reminder that appreciation is not just a nice-to-have, but a strategic lever. When employees feel valued, they are 12x more likely to find work meaningful and 41x more likely to feel connected to their manager.
Join Achievers Workforce Institute’s Managing Director, David Bator and Campbell’s AVP of Benefits, Kathryn Rider for a strategic discussion on how one of America’s most iconic soup companies deployed a global recognition platform during a period of significant disruption. We’ll share how Campbell’s leverages recognition to elevate their total rewards strategy, strengthen manager connection, and make appreciation a lasting part of the employee experience.
