The Recognition Edge: Activating the Most Underused Tool in Your Total Rewards Strategy

Recognition is often treated as secondary to compensation and rewards, but it plays a distinct and essential role in shaping employee motivation, visibility, and day-to-day momentum. This session explores how recognition works differently from other total rewards levers, why it has such a strong influence on motivation, and how organizations can use it more intentionally across the employee journey. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for building recognition into key moments—from onboarding to milestones to legacy—in ways that strengthen culture, reinforce desired behaviors, and drive lasting engagement.

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.
