External Role Recognition
Enable Bi-Directional Recognition Between Program Participants and Roles Outside of the Program
Non-Employee Recognition, Employee Engagement, Social Recognition.
There are a lot of extraordinary and recognizable moments happening within your employee base. But many organizations have moments to capture between employees and vital outside roles, like volunteers, customers, vendors, students, contractors or more. WorkStride gives you the capabilities your need to extend program reach beyond program lines.
With The Right Reward Solutions Provider, Anything is Possible.
Extend Recognitions Beyond Program Lines
Create valuable moments of recognition between employees and non-employees. Programs can enable staff to recognize outside roles for their support and hard work, like volunteers, contractors, customers and more.
Personalize the External Recognition Experience
When sending a non-employee a recognition, program users can choose the delivery method, like email or print, and can pick the award type or core value exhibited, along with a custom message and sender.
Inspire Social Engagement
Service awards displayed in your program’s social stream encourage participants to like and comment on awards displayed, which turns the award experience into a socially interactive one.
Drive Recognition from the Outside In
External recognition is a two-way street with non-user program capability to submit a recognition to a member in the recognition program. A public form on your program’s public login page enables non-participants, like customers, patients, and other partners to recognize a member of staff.
Capture All of the Memorable Recognitions with your Program
Recognitions sent to employees from outside roles create a memorable reward experience within the program, adding value, more engagement, and more program utility. Choose to showcase external recognitions publicly within your program, or filter their visibility.
Industry-Leading Recognition Experience
Going Global to Bond Teams with Recognition at BAE Systems
BAE is one of the leading aerospace and defense organizations with more than 30,000 global employees. The company and its leaders were in need of a full-scale recognition program that strategically blends both monetary and non-monetary rewards for their large and diverse participant base.
An internal employee survey made it clear that BAE Systems had outgrown their current in-house recognition program, so a specialized solutions expert was needed to accommodate their multiple complexities. WorkStride and BAE came together to create a strategy, design, and build an award-winning global recognition program: BAE IMPACT.
The program required various types of rewards set at different hierarchies and permissions, across several thousand online and offline employees, all supported in a friendly user and branded environment. The solution fostered complex logic on the back end, but an easy-to-use, compelling program on the front end.
The BAE IMPACT program is now widely known as one of the leading global enterprise recognition programs. It facilitates thousands of interactions each day, and has been recognized as a world-leading program by major industry associations. Recognition Professionals International (RPI), for instance, recognized BAE IMPACT for the standards of Recognition Strategy, Communication Plan, and Flexibility and Change. Program achievements include:
332.7%
in non-monetary rewards sent
