Future Trends in Recognition: How the Research is Pulling Us Forward

The field and practice of recognition is shifting. Cash-based incentives were king just a decade ago and new trends continue to emerge that expand beyond platforms and programs into individualized, custom applications across the employee experience. The research has been clear: the next phase of recognition will be focused on the individual through a purposeful, human connection using technology that is individualized. At the edge of recognition is transformation of the employee experience and a re-tooling of how we are thinking about the power of recognition beyond the walls of work. These trends will drive the employee experience and value proposition at all levels, consider the full employee life cycle, and have defined moments that inspire. In this research-based, yet laid back and information-packed presentation, participants should expect to look toward the future of recognition and examine the trends that will define the next wave of recognition and incentive-based programs for organizations at all levels and sizes.

Learning Objectives:

1. Examine the future of recognition-based programs for organizations at all levels
2. Summarize current research trends in recognition
3. Apply trends into specific points of practice through evidenced-based application
