Kudos®Is it time to reconsider your recognition strategy?
Join employee recognition expert Tom Short to explore crucial considerations for evaluating the effectiveness of your current employee recognition strategy.
He’ll begin by sharing the essential questions to assess whether your program is genuinely inclusive and accessible to all employees. Is your recognition strategy underutilized or overly manual, demanding too much time? Are managers actively engaging with the system?
The session will then pivot to discuss the components of a successful recognition strategy that drive real change in impacting organizational culture and improving employee engagement, performance, and retention. Tom will also provide strategic insights on how to present your redesigned recognition program to CHROs and CFOs, ensuring you secure the necessary approvals by aligning with broader business objectives and demonstrating clear ROI.
