As Millennials and Gen Z are set to become the largest segment of the workforce, it’s evident that traditional retention strategies are falling short. Recent research shows these employees are less likely to stay with their current employer long-term, even when offered higher pay elsewhere. 🤔

What’s causing this disconnect? Younger employees prioritize their well-being, financial health, and alignment with corporate values over salary. They seek career development opportunities beyond the typical “ladder-like” growth path. Furthermore, only 4% feel that their contributions are effectively-recognized, which is a wake-up call for all organizations. 🚨

We recognize these challenges and offer tailored recognition and incentive solutions designed to meet the unique expectations of today’s workforce. Our personalized recognition programs align with corporate values, and our flexible incentives support financial well-being and career growth. We help companies create environments where younger employees feel valued and motivated to stay.

It’s time to rethink retention. Let’s prioritize employee engagement because investing in people is essential for organizational success. 💡

The shift toward remote work isn’t just a trend; it’s a priority for employees. A recent FlexJobs survey reveals that 67% of workers plan to leave their jobs in the next six months, citing pay, remote work, and company culture as top retention factors. Flexibility and well-being are also at the forefront, with many willing to take pay cuts to maintain a work-life balance.

Our tailored recognition and incentive programs empower companies to strengthen engagement and retention by prioritizing flexibility, culture, and career growth—ensuring that companies retain top talent and improve overall employee engagement—just what today’s workforce values most.

A FlexJobs survey reveals that better pay, remote work options, and improved company culture are key factors when it comes to retaining staff.

The latest research from the Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) offers compelling evidence of the impact of well-designed recognition programs. The study highlights two key approaches: team-based recognition and peer-to-peer (P2P) leaderboards, which significantly improve employee engagement and performance.

In fast-paced, team-oriented environments like fast-food franchises, team-based recognition not only increased employee engagement and effort but also boosted customer satisfaction and financial performance. This suggests that collective acknowledgment can be a powerful motivator, especially in roles where individual performance is hard to measure.

Meanwhile, the study found that P2P recognition programs that emphasize "recognition given" over "recognition received" foster a culture of gratitude and prosocial behavior. By focusing on contributions to others, organizations can cultivate a more supportive and collaborative workplace.

At HALO, we believe in the transformative power of recognition. Our tailored solutions are designed to help organizations implement effective recognition strategies that align with these findings. Whether creating meaningful team-based rewards or designing intuitive platforms for peer recognition, we are committed to developing positive and engaged workplace cultures.

Recognition isn't just about rewards—it's about creating a work environment where everyone feels valued and motivated to contribute their best.

In this edition of Academic Research in Action, we explore two recent papers that address enhancing employee engagement and organizational outcomes, which offer recognition program designers specific and practical advice.
