Case Study: Liven boosts team engagement and recognition with HeyTaco

How Liven’s Recognition Rituals Drive Engagement in a Global, Remote Workforce

Liven, an Australian tech company with a global remote workforce, faced the challenge of ensuring employee recognition did not get lost in the fast-paced startup environment. Relying solely on managers for acknowledgment was not scalable and left some team members feeling unseen, a problem intensified by their remote setup. Liven needed a solution to empower everyone to celebrate each other's efforts and build a culture of mutual appreciation, leading them to the vendor HeyTaco.

The solution implemented was HeyTaco's peer-to-peer recognition platform, which integrated seamlessly into Slack. This allowed Liven to create regular recognition rituals, such as bi-weekly "Taco Love" sessions. The results included a significant internal boost in teamwork, engagement, and how recognized employees felt. HeyTaco helped transform recognition into a shared, everyday practice, creating a more connected and valued team that drives sustained growth.
