Employee Recognition Survey Template
Evaluate your employee recognition strategy. Stop guessing what matters to your team.
79% of employees quit due to lack of appreciation (O.C. Tanner). 69% would work harder if better recognised (Workleap). Most HR teams never measure what recognition actually drives. Replace assumptions with real data. See exactly how your team experiences recognition today - where it's landing, where the gaps are, and what's costing you in retention.
