Winner of 2024 Best Recognition Strategy: Alera Group

Alera Group has built a culture around the principles found in “The Collaborative Way” and the principles found therein. By implementing Awardco, they wanted to build and strengthen the principle of Acknowledge & Appreciate. To do so, they rebranded Awardco recognition to appreciation on the platform and in their communications.

Alera Group also discusses Awardco in every culture workshop, and they use their group of Collaborative Way Champions to model timely, specific, and genuine appreciation. 

This focus on value-driven recognition, reinforced by leadership and culture champions, has led to impressive results that are well over the benchmark for the Financial Services industry:

  • 85% of employees would recommend Alera Group as a great place to work
  • 83% of employees feel valued for their contributions
  • 79% of employees feel they receive appropriate recognition for their work
