Case Study: First Bank boosts morale and 75% staff engagement with Bucketlist recognition and rewards

Growing Unification and Morale through Employee Recognition

FirstBank, which expanded to 18 branches and over 200 employees, needed a fresh way to recognize and reward staff beyond traditional bonuses while making recognition visible across departments to boost morale and engagement. They selected Bucketlist’s employee recognition and rewards software to align recognition with their core values and surface contributions company-wide.

Bucketlist implemented an Outlook-integrated program for FirstBank using custom “bucks” redeemable in a branded marketplace, a company-wide launch webinar, and an added “Above and Beyond” category; within three months FirstBank achieved 75% staff engagement and nearly 600 recognitions. The Bucketlist solution also sped reward redemption, lifted morale and interdepartmental visibility, and provided ongoing support praised by FirstBank staff.
