Employee recognition gets a reboot with Edenred’s new Connect technology

Employee benefits and motivation experts, Edenred, are releasing new employee recognition SaaS technology designed to enable increased motivation, better performance, alignment to company values and a stronger employee value proposition.

Connect empowers employers to improve the effectiveness of their existing recognition programmes and help those looking to use recognition to support their wider people and strategic goals.

It enables businesses of any size to meet a number of strategic objectives; whether reinforcing a culture change programme, encouraging behaviours aligned to company values, bringing disparate recognition schemes together into one integrated approach, or increasing the visibility and control of spend.

The peer-to-peer structure enables employees to give recognition to another employee that can be seen and celebrated by the wider workforce on a ‘recognition wall’. Connect can easily be configured so that recognition can be from manager down, peer-to-peer or between team members.

The cleverly designed admin interface means that the set up and on-going management of the tool is faster, easier, and more streamlined. Branding and customisation can be managed on the fly and the reporting dashboards provide intelligent insight into KPIs and engagement scores, ensuring the recognition activity is fully measurable.

The optional reward element can give recognition a further motivational boost with a financial value from a range of eGift cards, gift cards and gift vouchers from over 80 top retailers including John Lewis, Thomas Cook, and Currys/PC World.

Andy Philpott, Sales and Marketing Director at Edenred, comments:

“Connect puts the power back into recognition. It is a technology enabler which can help companies use recognition to help achieve their people and business goals. Market leading UX and UI combine to enable peer-to-peer and top down recognition in a fast, simple, and effective way”.
