The existing employee recognition program was underutilized and ineffective at boosting morale. It was perceived as burdensome and lacked inclusivity, particularly for employees in regions outside of the US. Instead of an empowering and meaningful program, it was seen as another task to be done and checked off. Members could sense that feeling and thus led to lower morale about the program. 

To address these concerns, I conducted a survey to gather employee feedback and identify key pain points. Based on the findings, I implemented several key improvements, including:

• Establishing a rotating committee of internal members to ensure fair and transparent selection across all regions.

• Leveraging data from existing company recognition programs to identify and recognize deserving employees in all regions.

By actively listening to employee feedback and implementing targeted solutions, I revitalized the recognition program. I established a rotating committee to ensure fair and transparent selection across all regions and leveraged data from existing company recognition programs to identify and recognize deserving employees in all regions. These changes significantly increased employee participation and engagement. The program quickly became valued and appreciated, contributing to a more positive and motivating work environment.
