In this session, see how some of the most admired global companies in the world achieved eye-popping ROI through case studies supported by unique data science. Learn how to achieve the ideal recognition structure with the right level of investment to positively impact culture and performance.

A strong sense of belonging is closely linked to commitment and motivation, which translates into higher employee retention, pride, and engagement.

This session will cover fundamental training and support for all new leaders, as well as those who have been in leadership roles for some time but who may not have received adequate formal training on the challenges and responsibilities leadership brings.
