3-Part Series: Strengthening Workplace Community with the 2023 Global Culture Report
Part 1: The Power of Integrated Recognition & Symbols
Meghan Stettler of the O.C. Tanner Institute
Join thought leaders from the O.C. Tanner Institute for part one of our three-part webinar series exploring in-depth insights from the recently released 2023 Global Culture Report.
As the business landscape adjusts to new models of work and continued workplace changes, having a strong workplace community is more important than ever. Evolving organisations that prioritise employee belonging and connection will be ideally positioned to optimise their talent and lead out on industry-changing innovation.
In part one of the series, Meghan Stettler of the O.C. Tanner Institute leads a discussion with Vishakha Sawlapurkar, Head – Performance, Rewards & Workforce Planning at Adani Group, on how organisations can leverage culturally aligned integrated recognition with meaningful symbolism to create unparalleled employee experiences. Our research reveals that while high-recognition integration is rare (only 21% of workplaces rank as high-recognition integration cultures), organisations can take small steps today, to increase the frequency and reach of recognition.
Learn more about:
- The role of employees' past experiences and memories in shaping their perception of your recognition program, culture, and employee experience
- How to overcome previously poor experiences by integrating recognition early and often into onboarding, company-wide experiences, and throughout their employee experience
- Why symbolic items are not “stuff,” and how carefully curated collections of symbols amplify the effect of recognition on the business outcomes you care most about
