Employee Recognition

Recognition has always been central to workplace culture, but the way we deliver it is undergoing a fundamental transformation. While leaders have long understood that employees need to feel valued, traditional approaches haven't kept pace with today's diverse workforce. Annual awards, sporadic manager praise, and generic company-wide announcements aren't enough anymore. The result? Even the organizations that prioritize recognition are struggling to make it personal, timely, and equitable at scale.

Open enrollment season is upon us, and for HR leaders, it's bringing a familiar yet increasingly difficult challenge: delivering the news about rising healthcare costs to an already stretched workforce. As employees review their benefits options for 2026, many are confronting premium increases, higher deductibles, and reduced coverage options, all while managing the ongoing pressures of inflation and rising living costs.
