About this episode

In today's episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we welcome Jeff Cates, CEO of Achievers, a leading employee engagement platform.

Jeff delves into the transformative power of recognition in the workplace, exploring how organizations can drive culture change through frequent, meaningful recognition rather than relying solely on monetary rewards.


🎓 In this episode, Jeff discusses:

  1. How leveraging data can enhance employee engagement and reduce attrition.
  2. The role of generative AI in crafting impactful, bias-free recognition messages.
  3. The 'flywheel effect' of recognition and how it fosters a positive organizational culture.
  4. The importance of frequent, real-time recognition over traditional, reward-heavy programs.
