PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN

We understand that HR training and development budgets are tight right now. In today’s economic landscape, it's hard to access high priced resources and we want to make this as accessible as possible. Which is why we are supporting a ‘pay-what-you-can’ pricing model.

We don’t want you to feel any obligation to pay if you do not have the resources. The amounts raised will help us produce more content to fuel our EX community of HR, People, and Employee Experience Leaders with valuable resources that amplify their impact within their respective organizations.

We believe the estimated value of this program is $399+ of value, but have a starting recommendation of a $19.99 investment. We will gladly accept anyone into the program wherever you can land from an investment standpoint.

Feel free to adjust and name a fair price as you check-out and we look forward to seeing you at the program.

The Reality at Work Today

Improved Job Performance and Reduced Turnover: Research from BetterUp shows that workplace belonging leads to a 56% increase in job performance, a 50% reduction in turnover risk, and a 75% decrease in employee sick days​ (BetterUp)​. This highlights the significant impact of a sense of belonging on both individual and organizational success.

Enhanced Employee Engagement: Recognition is a powerful driver of engagement. Employees who receive regular recognition are up to eight times more engaged than those who don't​ (Vantage Circle)​. Engaged employees are more productive and contribute more positively to the company culture.

Reduced Voluntary Turnover: Effective recognition programs can reduce voluntary turnover by 31%​ (Vega-Hr)​. Employees who feel appreciated are less likely to seek opportunities elsewhere, which helps retain top talent and reduce the costs associated with hiring and training new employees.

Positive Impact on Organizational Culture: Integrating recognition with diversity and inclusion initiatives strengthens organizational values and promotes a more inclusive environment. Companies that align their recognition programs with core values see higher employee engagement and satisfaction​ (Vantage Circle)​​ (Achievers)​.

Increased Motivation and Connection: Peer recognition plays a crucial role in fostering a connected and motivated workforce. About 62% of employees say peer recognition makes them feel more connected to their team, while 65% say it motivates them to perform better​ (Vega-Hr)​.
