Employee recognition isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a critical driver of employee well-being, motivation and performance. We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the first unified Recognition and Rewards solution directly within our #1 employee experience management (EXM) platform.
For years, organizations have relied on fragmented tools to recognize and reward their people, but these systems often operate in silos — resulting in missed opportunities and disconnected experiences. Our unified Recognition and Rewards solution changes that by bringing recognition and rewards into a comprehensive EXM platform.
This marks a turning point for employee engagement — where celebrating contributions is not only frictionless but also aligned with your overall intranet strategy.
Current challenges
- Complex implementation: Many systems are cumbersome to set up, and for organizations without a formal program, the process can even be manual.
- Disjointed experience: Standalone solutions pull employees out of their workflow — if they even know the program exists.
- Perception of inequity: Inconsistent recognition across teams and regions can foster feelings of unfairness, damaging trust within the organization.
These challenges often result in low participation and disengagement, reducing the impact of recognition programs.
With Simpplr’s unified solution, Internal Communication (IC) and HR teams can finally align their goals for employee engagement, working together to strengthen company culture.
This collaboration ensures that recognition is consistent and actively fosters a positive, cohesive work environment where employees feel valued and motivated.
Why recognition and rewards matter
Recognition is not just a gesture; it’s a fundamental human need that ensures employees feel valued, seen and supported. Without it, your people can become unmotivated, disengaged and uninspired, leading to a decline in company culture, retention and performance. A large Gallup study found that an average of one in four employees received praise or recognition in the past week — and if that number were doubled, organizations could see significant bottom-line outcomes. A 10,000-person organization could realize:
Meaningful recognition has been proven to increase productivity, boost well-being, and lower turnover. Yet, in many workplaces, recognition is still seen as a nice-to-have, rather than a must-have. Without consistent, authentic appreciation, employees often feel overlooked, leading to dissatisfaction and, eventually, the decision to leave.
Employees who don’t feel adequately recognized are 3X more likely to say they will quit in the next year.
With Simpplr’s unified platform, organizations can align incentives, encourage peer-to-peer recognition, and provide leaders with actionable insights on performance — all in one place. This streamlined experience ensures that every win, no matter how small, is quickly celebrated in a way that resonates with individual employees.
