The Gratitude Effect: Unleashing the Power of Appreciation at Work

Human workplaces understand the power of acknowledgement in the workplace. But the most enlightened organizations are taking recognition and rewards a step further. By operationalizing gratitude at work, they are seeing measurable improvements in engagement, retention, safety, and productivity. That’s because gratitude, when given frequently and crowdsourced, changes not only the receiver, but also the giver. In this session, see how some of the most admired global companies in the world achieved eye-popping ROI through case studies supported by unique data science. Learn how to achieve the ideal recognition structure with the right level of investment to positively impact culture and performance.
