Mental Health Matters: How Engagement and Recognition Make a Difference

Uncertainty—from shifting policies to shrinking budgets—is taking a toll on employee wellbeing. As organizations navigate job insecurity, funding challenges, and operational pivots, one thing is clear: mental health support isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Join Christi Gilhoi, employee engagement leader at companies like Qualcomm and Okta, alongside New Hope Health, a behavioral health organization serving communities across the eastern U.S., as they explore how recognition, communication, and holistic engagement strategies can protect mental health and strengthen culture—even during instability.

You’ll learn:

  • How to support employee mental health with recognition-based strategies

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.
