Boost employee engagement with a best-in-class recognition programme
With falling employee engagement costing the global economy more than 400 billion dollars in 2025, the importance of initiatives that combat disengagement have never been more crucial. In fact, findings from Mercer’s 2026 Global Talent Trends report show enhancing the employee experience and value proposition as the number-one people priority for HR in 2026, with over half of executives believing these initiatives will deliver the greatest return on investment to their organisations.
Recognition programmes, through their immediate, visible and frequent nature, provide a core element of an organisation’s EVP - with forward-thinking organisations, who are truly trying to shift the productivity needle, utilising recognition to engage, motivate and drive the performance of their people.
Mercer’s Recognition in Focus report is designed to give you the basis for designing a best-in-class recognition programme, either from the ground up or by adapting and optimising what you already have in place today.
