This survey found that:
1) 80% of organizations currently have an employee recognition program.
2) The most common reasons for recognizing employees are for years of service (58%) and going above and beyond job duties (48%).
3) Tracking the ROI of recognition programs is challenging, with only 10-21% of organizations doing so depending on their size and sector.
The key challenges in measuring ROI include metrics changing over time and recognition programs not being linked to performance management systems.
