How to Turn Recognition Into Real Business Data (and reduce turnover)


Listen Later

In this episode of our On The Road series, we sit down with Jennifer Reimert, SVP, Consulting Practice at Workhuman, to explore how organizations can make recognition reach the people who are often hardest to reach: frontline and deskless workers.

Jennifer spent 20 years as an HR practitioner and total rewards leader before joining Workhuman. She was also a Workhuman customer back when the company was Globoforce, using recognition to help bring two merged companies together when culture, identity, and belonging were under real pressure.

Her message is clear: recognition cannot only work for people at a desk. If most of the work that defines your culture happens on the floor, in the field, in hospitals, in plants, in stores, or across customer sites, then recognition has to meet people where they actually work.


🎓 In this episode, we get into:

  1. Why 4–6 recognition moments in a year can help reduce turnover by half
  2. How to build a recognition business case that speaks the language of the CFO
  3. How to make recognition work for frontline workers who are not sitting at a desk
  4. How recognition data can reveal skills, networks, high performers, and hidden talent
  5. Why recognition needs to reach people through kiosks, text, physical cards, and manager-led moments
