The Art of Appreciation: How to Build a Recognition Programme That Drives Measurable Business Outcomes
Wednesday, 15th April 2026
11:00am - 12:00pm BST

Across EMEA, the data shows a clear link between appreciation and engagement. Just 23% of employees say they feel appreciated, and only 23% feel engaged. When employees don’t feel valued, discretionary effort declines and performance follows.
How organisations respond now will shape whether their workforce strengthens or slowly disengages.

Join Achievers’ Alyssa Tantillo, Senior Solutions Consultant, and NatWest’s Mark Heywood, Head of Performance and Recognition, for an insightful and real-world discussion on how employee recognition can drive culture, performance, and measurable business outcomes. Drawing on his experience implementing recognition programmes across multiple organisations, Mark will share how NatWest evaluated recognition as a strategic investment amid competing priorities and evolving post‑COVID workplace expectations.

Join us to learn:

  • Actionable insights on building a compelling business case for recognition

  • Practical strategies for using recognition data to strengthen culture, enhance global connectivity and improve productivity - while driving cost efficiency

  • Real-world examples of linking recognition to measurable business and customer outcomes
