What is performance recognition, and why does it matter?
Performance-based employee recognition identifies, recognizes and rewards behaviors that are aligned with the achievement of measurable business outcomes. Unlike programs that recognize and reward employees for their tenure, performance recognition and reward programs are designed to reinforce particular behaviors, practices or activities, which result in better performance outcomes and positive business results.
Employees overwhelmingly want to be recognized for performance
Our nationwide survey of 5,000 employees across all major industries revealed that more than three-quarters of respondents believe performance recognition increases employee engagement and retention. However, nearly half of those surveyed said their employer either didn’t offer or promote a performance recognition program. Read our Recognition Survey Report >

Safety initiatives that protect your people—and your bottom line
Working safely is working smart. But even the most experienced employees can overlook basic precautions or rush through tasks, leading to preventable accidents. A strong safety initiative can reduce workplace incidents by more than 50%, protecting lives and preventing costly disruptions to your business.
When safety stays top of mind, teams are more attentive, cautious and consistent in following best practices—helping minimize injuries and keeping your workforce productive and on the job.
Our approach reinforces safe behaviors through ongoing awareness, training and active participation in safety programs. By engaging employees directly in your safety culture, you create a shared commitment to working safely every day.
