As the leader in employee recognition, we’re often asked about our clients and who we work for. What’s interesting about this slide is that recognition knows no industry boundary, no specific size of company.We run the largest recognition program in the world for GE with more than 300,000 on our recognition platform, but we run smaller programs as well – for companies like InfoGroup, which is a much smaller, more nimble technology company that is one of our clients. And every one of these clients is unique and has unique needs – just as you do. And we can manage that uniqueness for you.And by the way, these are not just logos on a slide where we’re handling a tiny part of their overall recognition strategy and sticking the company name up there. Most of our competitors do a little bit of recognition at a company with a program in one department or one country. But when we show you this slide, we’re talking about fully deployed recognition programs on a global scale. Take Dow Chemical for example – 50,000 employees all over the world… multiple languages, multiple currencies, and the whole company is one recognition platform that we built and we maintain. And working with big companies has really put us through the paces frankly, which I’ll talk about more a bit later. We’ve learned a lot by working with companies like NBC and Citigroup, and that made us a better provider for all of the companies whose recognition programs we support. And what we’re also proud of is that if you look at a company like SuccessFactors – it’s one of the great Human Capital Management companies of the past 10 years. Maybe you heard that they were just acquired for $3.4 billion. So HR succes and employee engagement is in their DNA, and when they turn to us for their recognition program for their employees all over the world. And these globally unified recognition programs are so powerful, because they reinforce this notion that every one of your employees – wherever they are located – are equally important to helping you achieve your strategic objectives. This ensures that every employee knows just how valuable they are to your success.And that’s the secret sauce of Globoforce. When I sit next to someone on a plane who works for Boeing (which has a recognition program run by one of our competitors), they don’t know the program, what it’s about, what it’s for, or even that it exists. It’s not embedded in their culture. But if I’m sitting next to someone at Intuit or Symantec or Quintiles – they know their recognition programs, they live it, they breath it, and they truly love it. It’s part of their culture. It’s part of how they do their job every day.

You may have seen a TED talk from Harvard lecturer Shaun Achor who is the author of The Happiness Advantage. Shaun has had an article recently in the Wall Street Journal where he showed research proving that the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and engaged workforce. The decade of research proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: raising sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a myriad of health and quality of life improvements.
Happy employees have something called Psychological Capital, or PsyCap. This idea comes from the positive psychology, a field of academic study that is becoming very important to organizational development. Rather than concentrating on pathology, it proactively identifies and builds on things that are going right. It examines healthy states, such as happiness, strength of character and optimism, and asks “what if we stop focusing so much on unhappy people and what isn’t working, and instead we amplify happy people and what is working?” By figuring out how to replicate that success, we can move the needle on human metrics like happiness, satisfaction, productivity and engagement.Psycap is characterized by four qualities: self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience.
Achor has offered five ways that we can increase PsyCap:Be mindful of the present. We can develop a tendency to pay more attention to negative past events. As a result, we might overlook the opportunities to feel positive in the present moment. Try to integrate real-time reflection into your world.Celebrate small successes. Try not to ignore or downplay the smaller steps that lead to larger. Pause, reflect and celebrate these moments.Play to our strengths. Make sure you have a good fit between company and employees. As an employee this means finding a job that fits your needs and abilities. As a manager or leader, this means finding a way to spot outliers and employees who may be mismatched to their role.Recognize performance. If you manage others - try not to miss opportunities to reward excellence. Develop a habit of reaching out to validate accomplishments on a regular basis.Show gratitude. Don't be stingy with "thanks-yous" and compliments in the workplace. Let others know you appreciate their contribution to your work life - and build on this positive energy whenever possible. Few things are more meaningful than gratitude, and it plays a huge role in Positive Psychology and PsyCap.
OK…HANDS-UP for this question….78% of employees say they would work harder IF….That’s 78% of employees who are saying…I could do more…I could give more discretionary effort….work better.This is SO important!

One of the biggest problems with job performance reviews is that they’re largely predicated on a single person doing the review. And so the review is only as good as that singular person giving it. (Eric) Being Irish, I’m a huge fan of football—or as Americans say…soccer. And in this sport, a goalie can be a single point of failure. You can’t have a terrible goalie and a great team. But in business, all of your managers can be single points of failure when it comes to the annual performance review.
In fact, performance reviews are the object of widespread scorn.Go do a google search for cartoons about performance reviews sometime, and you’ll millions of results.The are awkward, talk about the employee experience and discomfort.
The REALITY is that a good percentage of HR professionals don’t’ trust them either!A Globoforce/Society for Human Resource Management survey asked, “Do you think the annual performance reviews are an accurate appraisal for employees’ work?”

JetBlue is one of our newest clients, and in the first month of their Lift program they already had seen an 88% jump in their crewmembers’ satisfaction with recognition. But what is exciting JetBlue’s leadership is the incredible power of the wisdom of crowds in delivering insight into their talent– to tell them who their outliers are, who their top influencers are, who needs coaching.

Stanford has studied the impact of strategic recognition. They’ve quantified it further by showing th, showing that on a weekly basis, it’s a best practice to nominate between 5-8% of employees to derive the greatest benefit. This study was authored by the head of organizational development at Stanford and really codifies some best practices.
Nielsen’s latest Global Trust in Advertising report, which surveyed more than 28,000 Internet respondents in 56 countries, 92 percent of consumers around the world say they trust earned media, such as recommendations from friends and family, above all other forms of advertising—an increase of 18 percent since 2007. Online consumer reviews are the second most trusted source of brand information and messaging, with 70 percent of global consumers surveyed online indicating they trust messages on this platform, an increase of 15 percent in four years.
Harvard Business School recently published a paper that researched expert reviews in the book industry. The sample consisted of all reviews written by a fixed set of media outlets for each of the 100 highest rated non-fiction books on Metacritic during the years 2004-2007.One of the things they determined was that expert ratings are correlated with Amazon ratings. Experts and consumers agree in aggregate about the quality of a book.
So think for a second about how much people dislike and distrust performance reviews, and contrast that with other kinds of reviews you see out there. There are some reviews out there that people absolutely are fanatical about; they’re almost addicted to them.For example, people absolutely love getting to review hotels on TripAdvisor, or movies on Rotten Tomatoes, or restaurants on Yelp. In fact, of the hundreds of thousand of apps available on the iPhone, Yelp is one of the most popular ones available. And people give these reviews on a voluntary basis, and are happy to do so. They actually enjoy doing so. And they’re enormously valuable to the people consuming the reviews because they take into account multiple viewpoints. If I want to find a good restaurant to go to tonight, sure it might be nice to know if there’s a restaurant critic out there who thinks highly of the place I’m thinking of going. But honestly, it’s a heck of a lot more valuable to know what hundreds of people have to say about that restaurant—and that’s what I can find out on a site like Yelp.
