Beyond the Bonus: Designing a Culture of Recognition
Money isn't the only motivator. Create a peer-to-peer recognition system that works.
About this session
Financial incentives often fail to create lasting morale because they are transactional and infrequent. This session provides a practical framework for teams to build a peer-to-peer recognition system that highlights daily contributions and reinforces the specific behaviors that actually drive your culture.
Why it works
The structure shifts recognition from a top-down management task to a shared team responsibility, which increases the frequency and authenticity of praise. By forcing participants to define what 'good work' looks like in their own words, the resulting system avoids corporate jargon and aligns with the team's real-world social dynamics.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
