Are you interested in bringing social recognition to your company, but not sure where to begin? And what if – like in most organizations – you’re limited by time, budget, and resource constraints? How can you get the rest of your company on board?
We’ve received lots of great questions like these following WorkHuman 2017. It’s because many of the lessons learned at this year’s conference point to the inherent connection between building a culture of appreciation and creating a more human workplace.
Quite simply, launching a social recognition program is the first and easiest step to creating a more human workplace.
More companies are coming to the same conclusion. In collaboration with SHRM, we conduct an annual survey of HR leaders and practitioners to gauge the latest trends in the industry. Since we started this survey in 2011, there has been a steady increase in the number of organizations with values-based recognition programs. Those companies are seeing strong impacts in employee engagement, happiness, productivity, retention, and more.
So how can you begin your recognition journey and see similar results? First, make sure you register for our webinar this Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.
