The Motivation Machine:
Designing Recognition Programs For Maximum Impact

What truly motivates employees to perform at their best? Organizational psychologist Sarah Marrs, alongside fellow Awardco Center of Excellence (COE) member Christi Gilhoi, will share new research exploring this critical question. As organizations navigate hybrid working and the growing role of technology, HR leaders are being called to adopt a more human-centered approach—one that supports autonomy, allows for experimentation, and meets the increasingly individualized expectations of today’s workforce. This session unpacks key motivation archetypes and behavioral responses, offering practical insight into how leaders can scale recognition through technology while maintaining a personal, meaningful experience.
