Inspire employees to perform at a high level, increase work attendance, and drive team dynamics.

This $250 million logistics company was experiencing high leadership turnover which was driving low employee engagement.   Normal program best practices weren’t working and employee perception of the culture was at an all-time low.

After a full employee engagement and culture benchmark, the data told a powerful story. Rewards and recognition were available, but felt arbitrary to employees and didn’t speak to their customized needs. The company built a rewards program using the data to prioritize recognition opportunities that would truly drive connection and saw a 33% increase in employee engagement long-term.
