HBR Research Report: Improving Business Performance Through Appreciation

Turn recognition from a feel-good perk into a strategic driver of results

While 66% of organizations say employee recognition is very important for influencing business performance, only 33% believe their recognition programs are very effective at doing so.

Programs treated as a feel-good initiative rarely connect to the priorities that move engagement, productivity and innovation.

This report from Harvard Business Review shows how leading organizations use appreciation as a strategic driver of engagement, productivity, innovation and retention.

With this report:

  • Discover what sets highly effective recognition programs apart from the rest
  • Learn how appreciation can connect strategic priorities to day-to-day decision-making
  • Gain real-world insights from General Motors, Workday, Kyndryl and Coles
  • Build a business case for recognition that leadership will back

A recognition program that doesn’t move performance is a cost, not an investment. Make appreciation a driver of the results your business needs.
