Case Study: BDC achieves stronger employee engagement with O.C. Tanner's multidirectional recognition platform

BDC engages 2,300 employees with O.C. Tanner

BDC, Canada's bank for entrepreneurs, wanted to enhance its employee engagement by evolving its recognition program beyond traditional top-down rewards. They partnered with O.C. Tanner to create a new, multidirectional platform that would allow every employee to recognize their peers' contributions and reflect the bank's refreshed brand.

O.C. Tanner implemented an online recognition solution named "exclamat!on," which was available in both English and French and included a custom Yearbook feature for employment milestones. This allowed BDC to reinforce its strong culture digitally. The results included improved talent retention and a more embedded culture of appreciation, making employees feel valued and connected across the country.
