## Disengagement isn’t an HR issue. It’s a commercial one.

Staff turnover, burnout and disengagement are costing organisations millions through recruitment, lost productivity, absenteeism and inconsistent service. Left alone, each one feeds the next.

## Recognition as a business strategy

Engage recognises the behaviours and contributions that drive your business, and uses that data to improve performance, retention and culture.

01

### Retain valued employees

Recognise great work, reinforce contribution and create a culture where employees feel valued and appreciated.

02

### Reduce burnout

Identify changes in recognition and engagement that can highlight workforce issues before they become costly problems.

03

### Increase productivity

Recognise the behaviours, values and discretionary effort that contribute to better performance.

04

### Improve customer, guest and patient experience

Recognise employees for delivering exceptional service and reinforce the behaviours that create better experiences.

05

### Build a stronger culture

Make your organisation’s values visible by recognising the people who demonstrate them every day.

06

### Measure what matters

Set meaningful measures for retention, burnout, productivity, engagement or customer experience, and track progress over time.

AI-powered reports

## Turn recognition into workforce intelligence

Engage uses AI to analyse recognition and engagement data, giving leaders visibility of what is happening across departments, locations and teams before small issues become costly problems.

From

“Who received recognition?”

To

“What is the data telling us about our organisation?”

### Leaders can see

- →Engagement trends
- →Changes in recognition activity
- →Areas of strong or declining engagement
- →Behaviours and soft skills being demonstrated
- →Differences between departments, locations and teams
- →Emerging patterns that may warrant attention
- →Employees and teams demonstrating valuable behaviours

The aim isn’t to replace human judgement with AI. It’s to give leaders better information to make better decisions about their people.

## How Engage works

### Recognition from anyone, to anyone

Peers, managers and leaders can recognise each other in real time, as great work happens, not months later at a review.

### Visible across the organisation

Recognition is shared on a social feed, so appreciation becomes normal and the behaviours you value are seen and repeated.

### Aligned to your values

Recognition is tied to your organisation’s values, service standards, safety initiatives and leadership behaviours.

### Points and rewards

Employees collect points they can redeem for gifts, backed by the HW Holdsworth gift range.

### Integrates with your systems

Engage works with existing HR, payroll, communication, learning, wellbeing and employee experience systems, protecting your technology investment.

### Tailored to you

Your program is configured around your objectives, reward strategy and workforce, with our team supporting you from design to launch and beyond.

## Frequently asked questions

What is peer-to-peer employee recognition software?

Software that lets colleagues, managers and leaders thank each other in real time, as great work happens. Engage by HW Holdsworth shares that recognition on a social feed and turns it into AI-powered insight on engagement, retention and culture.

How does peer recognition improve workplace culture and retention?

Recognising great work reinforces the behaviours and values you want repeated, and helps employees feel valued. That helps break the cycle of turnover, heavier workloads, burnout and disengagement, which costs organisations through recruitment, lost productivity and absenteeism.

Is peer-to-peer recognition software suitable for our organisation?

Engage is used by hundreds of organisations, with more than 3 million recognitions sent. Each program is configured around your objectives, reward strategy and workforce, with our team supporting you from design to launch and beyond.

Can peer recognition integrate with our existing HR systems?

Yes. Engage works with existing HR, payroll, communication, learning, wellbeing and employee experience systems, protecting your technology investment.

What do the AI-powered reports show?

Engagement trends, changes in recognition activity, differences between departments, locations and teams, and the behaviours and soft skills being demonstrated. The aim is to give leaders better information for decisions about their people, not to replace human judgement.

How is HW Holdsworth's approach different?

Recognition is tied to your values, service standards and safety initiatives. Employees collect points they can redeem for gifts from the HW Holdsworth gift range. And you're backed by a team that has been recognising Australian workplaces since 1884.
