What You'll Learn

Effective communication is the foundation of a thriving workplace, yet personality differences often create roadblocks to collaboration. Understanding how individuals communicate, lead, and respond to challenges can transform workplace dynamics and drive productivity. Enter the Birds Model—based on the traditional DISC Model, the Birds are a fun and insightful way to decode communication preferences, strengthen relationships, and build high-performing teams.

Whether you're leading a team, managing cross-functional projects, or looking to improve workplace culture, this session will provide actionable strategies to leverage personality insights for stronger engagement and collaboration.

Key Takeaways:

  • Decode Communication Styles – Learn how the four Bird types impact workplace interactions and leadership approaches.
  • Enhance Team Collaboration – Discover how recognizing and adapting to different communication styles fosters trust, efficiency, and engagement
  • Improve Recognition Strategies – Understand how tailored recognition approaches can resonate with different personality types for maximum impact.

The Motivation Machine: Designing Recognition Programs for Maximum Impact

What truly motivates employees to give their best at work? Sarah Marrs, Organizational Psychologist and member of Awardco’s Center of Excellence (COE), together with fellow COE member Christi Gilhoi, will unveil new research answering this critical question. The next era of hybrid human-technology work will require a new style of HR leadership that leaves room for autonomy, mistakes, and experimentation—and meets the individualised expectations of employees. Join us as we discuss what we found out about understanding motivation archetypes and response behaviors in employees, and how it informs what HR leaders can do now to use technology to scale while still providing a personal touch.
