Case Study: Alation achieves stronger employee recognition and appreciation with Snappy

How Snappy Helped Alation Boost Employee Recognition

Alation, a data catalog company, needed a simple, scalable way for its People & Culture team to recognize outstanding performance and celebrate service anniversaries across its global workforce. To address this, Alation implemented Snappy, using Snappy’s Spot Rewards and Service Anniversary offerings to deliver timely, admin‑light recognition and gifts.

Snappy enabled Alation to send curated, choice‑based rewards and personalized notes, plus automatic anniversary gifts (with 100% reliability) and concierge support for unique items. The result, according to Alation, was an overwhelmingly positive response—employees report feeling more recognized and appreciated, and the Service Anniversary program supports year‑to‑year retention—demonstrating Snappy’s measurable operational ease and cultural impact.
