3. 39% : Used and Loved
Ready. Set. Go.
Don’t lose momentum after
the program launches.

demonstrating recognition,
employees should be
advocating recognition, and
the value of recognition

4. 11% : Improving Over Time Just because your
launch was successful,
doesn’t mean the
program will be.
Your program won’t grow if
it doesn’t stay meaningful.
Review experiences,
awards, and impact often to
make sure enthusiasm and
participation are always on
the rise.

5. 14% : Evolving Organically
Let it snowball with
its own momentum.
To ensure your program
produces its own kinetic
energy, make sure budgets,
resources, and tools are
sufficient enough to help
employees embrace the
program so recognition
goes viral.

6. 20% : Becoming Second Nature Keep it simple, keep it
routine, keep it in
your culture.
If it’s easy to use, used often,
and often reinforced with
employee feedback your
recognition program will
become second nature to
your employees and begin
to influence greatness.
