Is recognition alone enough to achieve critical organizational goals? Darwin Hanson, the Enterprise Engagement Alliance’s Chief Human Capital advisor, believes that while recognition plays an important role in a total rewards strategy, it is not enough by itself to achieve critical organizational, cultural, or team goals.

As more providers expand beyond traditional recognition programs into broader engagement solutions, buyers may find it increasingly difficult to distinguish between organizations whose primary expertise is recognition and those whose primary expertise is enterprise engagement.
Click here to conduct an anonymous assessment in just a few minutes. There is no registration involved. Based on your answers, you’ll get an instant score of how much the solution provider focuses on recognition or engagement. Both approaches can create value. Recognition helps reinforce desired behaviors and accomplishments through positive reinforcement, incentives, and rewards. Enterprise engagement focuses on fostering the proactive involvement of stakeholders in achieving organizational goals through a broader set of tools that may include communications, feedback, learning, innovation, coaching, collaboration, incentives, recognition, measurement, and continuous improvement. Increasingly powered by enterprise engagement technology platforms, many providers today offer elements of both. The purpose of this assessment is not to determine which approach is better, but rather to help buyers understand where a provider's primary expertise lies on the recognition-to-enterprise Engagement Spectrum.
To address the issues raised by Hanson in his article, the EEA developed a confidential 16-question evaluation to rapidly determine the extent to which the solution provider focuses on recognition versus a more holistic approach to engagement to achieve specific organizational or team purpose, goals, objectives and values.
