Talking of the power of kindness at work - Friday the 4th of March is Employee Appreciation Day. While recognition definitely shouldn’t be something only celebrated on one day, March 4th represents a great day to do a recognition based activation while also taking a good look at how you approach appreciation at your company. Getting it right can pay dividends. 

For example, 44% of employees switch jobs because of not getting adequate recognition for their efforts while 63% of employees who feel recognized are unlikely to look for a new job. According to Harvard Business Review, 72% of businesses agree that recognition impacts engagement positively, while Deloitte found that employee productivity and performance are 14% higher in organizations with recognition programs than in those without them.

We’ve seen many customers build recognition programs using our platform to great effect, such as Globe Telecom who saw a 900% increase in recognition year on year.
