Recognition left untapped is ROI left on the table—but when activated strategically, it closes critical growth gaps. Recognition has evolved into enterprise-critical infrastructure; done right, it becomes a behavioral data engine that fuels productivity, retention, and culture at scale. With Human Intelligence, peer-enabled recognition, and predictive AI, HR leaders finally have the tools to see what drives performance and retention - and act on it in real time. 
 
Based on new research from Everest Group and Workhuman, this session will explore how to break free from generic recognition models and build a system that drives measurable business outcomes. 
 
Key Takeaways:

• Diagnose and optimize your recognition strategy - Identify what’s missing in your current program, troubleshoot barriers to impact, and clearly communicate business value to leadership. 
• Leverage real-time data and AI for smarter decisions – See how behavioral insights and AI can surface cultural risks. 
• Scale culture with authenticity – Personalize recognition at scale while empowering peer-to-peer moments that build trust, connection, and belonging.
