    The Q1 Culture Check: What Recognition Data Reveals About Your Workplace

    Q1 is a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and reset. In this webinar, we break down what your recognition data is really telling you and how to use those insights to build a stronger, more engaged workplace in Q2.

    You’ll learn the difference between lagging indicators like surveys (what employees felt) and leading indicators like recognition data (what employees are doing right now), and why recognition is one of the most actionable signals for shaping culture in real time. We walk through the four key recognition signals every organization should review:

    • Who is getting recognized, and who might be overlooked
    • Who is giving recognition across teams
    • Which company values show up most and least
    • Where recognition gaps may exist across your organization

  • Webinar: Level Up Your Recognition Program

    Are you making the most of your employee recognition program? Many organizations have tools for recognition, but few use them strategically to boost engagement, performance, and culture.

    In this webinar, we break down all three levels of recognition and how to use them effectively:

    ⭐ Formal Recognition, celebrate top performers and major achievements with structured programs like Nominations
    ⭐ Informal Recognition, foster peer-to-peer recognition through engaging Challenges
    ⭐ Day-to-Day Recognition, reward daily contributions with quick, meaningful Spot Awards

    You’ll walk away with a practical framework to combine these recognition levels and actionable tips for maximizing your program’s impact.

    The session also includes a live Q&A and a product feedback survey to help shape future enhancements to Challenges, Nominations, Surveys, and more.
