Case Study: Onity achieves consistent, visible employee recognition with O.C. Tanner

Onity boosts recognition adoption to 97% with O.C. Tanner

Onity, a major financial services company with over 5,500 employees, faced a challenge with inconsistent and non-visible employee recognition across its global organization. Their engagement survey revealed a need for improvement, as recognition practices varied by department and location with no central visibility. To address this, Onity partnered with vendor O.C. Tanner to create a formal and sustainable recognition solution.

O.C. Tanner implemented a tailored global recognition program called Applause, which was aligned with Onity's core values. The solution included various award categories and a central Wall of Fame for visibility. The program was highly successful, with 97% of employees using the platform, leading to a considerable jump in engagement scores on rewards and recognition. O.C. Tanner's platform provided consistency, global reach, and helped embed recognition into Onity's culture, which proved especially valuable during the shift to remote work at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
