Case Study: LinkedIn boosts employee retention and performance with Workhuman’s Bravo! recognition program

LinkedIn boosts retention to 96% with Workhuman

LinkedIn, a global professional networking company, faced challenges with employee retention and performance during a period of rapid growth. Their existing spot bonus program was inconsistent and administratively difficult. Partnering with Workhuman, they sought a modern social recognition solution to reinforce their culture and values and improve the new hire experience.

Workhuman implemented its social recognition solution, named Bravo!, a peer-to-peer program tied directly to LinkedIn's core values. The results were significant, including a 96% retention rate for employees who received four or more awards. For new hires, retention increased from 86% to 95% for those receiving four or more awards. Additionally, 54% of employees who received three or more awards showed a year-over-year performance increase, demonstrating the powerful impact of Workhuman's program.
