New episode of The HR Tech Spotlight featuring Wishlist! On this episode of The HR Tech Spotlight, Deanna digs in with Skylar Elisberg CEO of Wishlist to explore their rewards and recognition platform that allows organizational leaders to recognize and reward employees using a top-down recognition strategy while allowing peers to recognize each other using a peer-to-peer approach. Some of the key insights from our conversation: ? Wishlist is focused on creating "meaningful, giving moments" rather than just transactional reward programs. They believe intentionality and personalization are crucial. ? Many employee recognition programs have become too impersonal, relying on generic gift cards. Skylar shared how this can miss the mark and leave employees feeling under appreciated. ? The best recognition taps into what truly motivates each individual employee, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. He emphasized the importance of managers knowing their team members as people. ? Effective recognition programs can help strengthen the critical employee-manager relationship, which is a key driver of retention. Poor management is a top reason people leave organizations. ? Wishlist is working to make the recognition process more seamless and embedded in the workflow, rather than requiring employees to log into a separate system. Check out the episode to learn about Wishlist and how they are approaching rewards and recognition to help employers create more engaged teams.
