Case Study: De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada (DLL) achieves stronger employee engagement and award‑winning workplace culture with Kudos

De Lage Landen - Customer Case Study

De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada Inc. (De Lage Landen), a Burlington-based financial services firm of 250–499 employees, needed to strengthen employee engagement and build a consistent, inclusive recognition culture across a hybrid workforce. To centralize and streamline recognition programs—from birthdays and service anniversaries to top-performer awards—they partnered with Kudos and adopted the Kudos Recognition & Rewards platform.

Kudos delivered a social recognition solution where managers award points, peers give meaningful recognition, and automated reminders support anniversaries and awards; DLL also embedded its Service Anniversary Award and Customer Champion communications into the platform. The partnership increased connection and engagement company-wide and produced measurable results: DLL earned Great Place To Work certification six consecutive years (2019–2024) and multiple Best Workplace recognitions (including Best Workplace for Women in 2022 and 2024 and Best Workplaces in Canada 2024), demonstrating the impact of Kudos’ program.
