She was also a Workhuman customer back when the company was Globoforce, using recognition to help bring two merged companies together when culture, identity, and belonging were under real pressure.Her message is clear: recognition cannot only work for people at a desk. If most of the work that defines your culture happens on the floor, in the field, in hospitals, in plants, in stores, or across customer sites, then recognition has to meet people where they actually work.🎓 In this episode, we get into:Why 4–6 recognition moments in a year can help reduce turnover by halfHow to build a recognition business case that speaks the language of the CFOHow to make recognition work for frontline workers who are not sitting at a deskHow recognition data can reveal skills, networks, high performers, and hidden talentWhy recognition needs to reach people through kiosks, text, physical cards, and manager-led moments🙏 Thank you to our partner, WorkhumanDiscover how Workhuman helps organizations turn recognition into real business impact, building stronger cultures, more connected teams, and better visibility into the people driving performance.✅ Learn more about Workhuman → https://www.workhuman.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
