Case Study: The Corvallis Clinic achieves 47%+ employee engagement growth with Recognize

Promoting Safety Through Employee Recognition in a Healthcare Environment

The Corvallis Clinic, a physician‑owned healthcare group in Oregon with 600+ staff across 9 locations, faced the challenge of boosting employee appreciation and engagement in a high‑stress, multi‑site environment. Having tried several recognition programs that required manual data entry and lost momentum, The Corvallis Clinic turned to Recognize’s corporate recognition platform to enable real‑time, user‑friendly recognition and better engagement reporting.

Recognize helped the Clinic roll out a start‑small, grow‑over‑time program with custom value‑based badges, automated birthday and work‑anniversary recognitions, and later point‑based rewards and gift cards. The results included 450+ active users across all facilities, 13,000 recognitions in two years, ~80% employee participation and a >47% increase in engagement in year two, driving a measurable cultural shift toward more peer‑to‑peer and cross‑division appreciation.
