Case Study: GE Appliances transforms culture and boosts retention with O.C. Tanner recognition

GE Appliances reduces attrition 58% with O.C. Tanner

GE Appliances, a Haier company, sought to move away from treating recognition as transactional compensation and build a more meaningful culture of appreciation. They partnered with O.C. Tanner to implement a tailored recognition program called "Recognize YOU," which included a special Yearbook service award offering.

The solution from O.C. Tanner focused on embedding recognition into daily culture, empowering managers with easy-to-use tools and removing approval barriers. As a result, GE Appliances saw a 58% decrease in attrition risk for recognized employees and a 180% improvement in manager scores, directly linking the program to enhanced engagement and a stronger culture.
