Appreciation@work 2025: Strategic Recognition in a New Era of Work

Where culture meets performance, and appreciation becomes a competitive advantage.

Recognition has never mattered more, nor been more misunderstood.

In today’s evolving workplace, where hybrid complexity, generational shifts, and AI disruption are rewriting the employee experience, appreciation must move beyond feel-good gestures. It must become a strategic tool to build connection, drive performance, and scale culture.

Appreciation@Work 2025 brings together forward-thinking HR and People leaders to redefine what recognition looks like now and where it’s headed next.

In this dynamic, half-day seminar, we’ll explore:

  • What the workforce actually wants from recognition today (hint: it’s not just money)
  • How to design high-impact appreciation strategies that are inclusive, scalable, and AI-powered
  • The frameworks and models that link appreciation to performance, retention, and business outcomes

You’ll walk away with tangible tools, new thinking, and bold insights to make appreciation a pillar of your EX and leadership strategy.

This isn’t a surface-level conversation, it’s a recharge for your recognition strategy, your culture-building efforts, and your people-first leadership.
