Culture-building experiences
Culture by design
We’re passionate about transforming the world’s workplaces by delivering inspiring, one-of-a-kind recognition and other culture-building experiences at scale.
Time-Tested
We’ve spent nearly a century listening to our clients and building recognition solutions that reflect their culture, evolving alongside the teams who bring culture to life.
Culture Makers
We don’t just follow culture trends—we publish them. The O.C. Tanner Insititute turns global data and insights into tools that make recognition more meaningful
Always Evolving
We improve relentlessly, so recognition stays meaningful, relevant, and real, at every stage of growth—adapting as people, teams, and work itself evolve.
People First
Recognition isn’t just what we do, it’s how we work. Our culture is built on celebrating the people behind every success, and carrying that into everything we create.
Meaningful Giving
Giving with Purpose
Our Culture of Giving
Our founder, Obert C. Tanner, measured the company’s success by asking his accountant, “What’s our give-ability this month?” It’s why we give our employees eight hours of volunteer time annually, work to improve our communities, and give 10% of company profits to causes that benefit the environment, arts, education, human need, and other efforts that matter to our employees.
