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 | 90% of active employee participants | 45k+ recognitions sent per year | Winner of Recognition Professionals International (RPI) Best Practice Award |

WorkStride’s solution? the cone Health CHeeRS program.
