From Disconnected to Dynamic: Using Recognition Technology and AI to Power Employee Engagement

16 Sep 2025
People and Culture Theater - Expo Hall
People & Culture Session
Despite increased investment in engagement programs, many organizations still face low participation, fragmented experiences, and a lack of measurable impact. However, top-performing companies are breaking through these barriers by strategically leveraging reward and recognition programs—not just to boost engagement, but to attract and retain talent, build a positive culture, and reduce turnover. Employees who are effectively recognized and rewarded tend to be substantially more engaged and committed, driving stronger business outcomes.

 

In this session, we’ll explore how companies can harness recognition technology enhanced by AI to create more connected, personalized, and effective employee journeys. Senior Strategy Manager John Duisberg will share insights on how to partner with organizations to transform engagement strategies into measurable success. The session will also highlight real-world examples from Walter Till (Shipt), who has seen tangible results by aligning rewards with culture and performance. Join us to discover how to turn your recognition and reward programs into powerful drivers of recruitment, retention, and organizational excellence.
