Recognition isn’t just about appreciation – it’s a strategic tool for shaping company culture. At Manulife, their Podium program does more than celebrate achievements; it reinforces values, engages employes, and strengthens brand pride. From integrating recognition into their Stars of Excellence program to showcasing recognition on social media, they’ve made recognition a company-wide movement.

Now celebrating five years of Podium, Manulife is taking recognition to the next level through employee-driven insights, a structured recognition calendar, and data-backed improvements. Learn how they’ve built a sustainable, high impact recognition culture – and how you can do the same.

This session is for HR and business leaders who want to move beyond basic recognition and create a program that drives engagement, retention, and business success. You’ll leave with proven, actionable strategies to elevate recognition into a culture-building powerhouse.
