After creating a brand-new vaccine in record time, leaders at Pfizer knew that if they wanted employees to continue innovating at the same level, they needed to make sure all 79,000 people felt valued and rewarded for their hard work. Since the company’s in-house recognition program could not be implemented everywhere at once – leaving some employees feeling less supported than others – Pfizer chose to partner with Workhuman Ò to produce BRAVO, an impactful Social Recognition Ò program that connected everyone around the globe.

Workhuman and Gallup partnered to discover the correlation between employee wellbeing and strategic employee recognition – and the resulting impact on overall company growth and success. In a large-scale study of more than 12,000 employees across 12 countries, Workhuman and Gallup found that recognition is one of the most effective and affordable ways to improve wellbeing, sparking cultural transformation and helping workplaces achieve exceptional performance.
