In a matter of weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic has radically transformed our work and personal lives. Many of us have abruptly transitioned to fully remote work and HR and people leaders are navigating the challenges of not only keeping everyone focused and inspired, but also instilling a sense of belonging in the midst of it all.
Doubling down on gratitude and appreciation in times of uncertainty is a proven way to build and sustain the human connections vital to helping businesses thrive. This has certainly been the case with Merck, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. Merck is using INSPIRE, its peer-to-peer recognition program to help boost morale and deepen employee connections across 85 countries.
What are the key takeaways from Merck’s story that can help you build a culture of gratitude and appreciation at a time when positivity is so desperately needed? In this webcast, Merck's director of compensation Michaela Leo and Workhuman consultants Jennifer Reimert and Erica Santos, will discuss how to leverage peer-to-peer recognition to strengthen engagement and promote a sense of community.
Attendees will learn about:
- How social recognition keeps employees connected and engaged in a virtual workplace
- Significant impacts resulting from frequent recognition, including increased engagement and new cross-functional communities
- Ways Merck is using INSPIRE by aligning the program to new ways of working
