LAS VEGAS & SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. & DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Globoforce®, (www.globoforce.com), the world’s leading provider of SaaS-based employee recognition solutions, today announced new social and mobile enhancements to help companies better manage and motivate a global workforce. The new capabilities further elevate the organizational reach and impact of Social Recognition™, a corporate social network that ignites company culture through employee recognition. With these advancements, HR leaders now have a more effective solution to demonstrate how core values are lived throughout their organization.
As workforces continue to become more international and separated, HR leaders need a way to better connect and engage employees. With this latest release, Globoforce is extending the power of social across mobile and internal corporate platforms, including the recognition industry’s first RSS recognition feed for corporate intranets. The newest release also provides HR leaders with more flexibility and control over the entire recognition experience – from nomination to approval to reward redemption.
“To manage and engage today’s workforce requires a renewed approach to HR technologies,” said Thomas Otter, research vice president, Gartner Research. “Employees today embrace the same technologies that are transforming our everyday lives. Companies building impactful HR programs, including social employee recognition, need to ensure that social and mobile are well integrated into their processes. These technologies help organizations successfully connect and motivate employees and develop a unified company culture.”
Continuing to lead the recognition category, Globoforce’s latest social and mobile innovations change the way company culture and employee performance is measured and achieved. With these advancements, business and HR leaders will now have:
-

Real-time recognition cultures
New one-click “congratulations” via email and mobile help companies amplify every recognition moment and create true cultures of appreciation faster and easier than ever before. -
Higher levels of recognition adoption

Even greater award flexibility
