Platform to Performance: Unlocking the Business Value of Recognition and Rewards
Recognition and rewards platforms are now widely used across organisations, yet many still struggle to translate that investment into measurable business value. While 69% of companies have a formal recognition platform, many rely on informal approaches that can limit visibility, adoption, and engagement across teams.
The difference is significant: organisations that integrate rewards marketplaces into their recognition strategies report 34% productivity gains, 33% stronger employee belonging, and 29% higher engagement. At the same time, platforms play a critical role in addressing governance challenges—ensuring reward distribution is transparent, compliant, and manageable across regions, including complexities such as benefits tax, reporting requirements, and budget oversight.
In this session, Emma Harvie, Achievers’ Global Head of Recognition and Rewards Insights will explore why many organisations fail to capture the full value of their recognition technology—and what you can do to change that.
