Welcome to O.C. Tanner's Culture by Design podcast, where we discuss the research, practices, and strategies that help employees thrive at work.
This episode, we are joined by Lovely Lawson, Assistant Manager of Recognition Benefits at Navy Federal Credit Union, as she shares how the organization integrated recognition into employee feedback and quarterly performance conversations to amplify and encourage high-performing behaviors, resulting in improved engagement and member satisfaction scores.
