Case Study: Instructure achieves company-wide peer-to-peer recognition and huge ROI with Motivosity

Instructure Uses Motivosity to Improve Employee Engagement

Instructure, an education-technology company serving more than 1,600 institutions, was growing rapidly (hiring 6–12 people weekly) but lacked a structured peer-to-peer recognition system, which contributed to low employee engagement. After frontline feedback, Instructure turned to Motivosity’s peer-to-peer recognition platform to create a consistent, company-wide way to recognize and reward employees.

Motivosity was implemented company-wide with every employee receiving an account during their first week; adoption is high and requires virtually no maintenance. The program drove measurable engagement—31,184 appreciations in the past 12 months and 92% of employees receiving regular thanks across 812 staff—delivering a “huge” ROI, lower turnover, higher productivity and stronger team loyalty, according to Instructure.
