Case Study: International Communications and Information Technology Company Builds a Cost-Effective Global Recognition Program with WorkStride

Building a Cost-Effective Global Recognition Program

International Communications and Information Technology Company, a global communications and IT provider serving government and commercial markets in more than 125 countries, needed a better way to recognize its 13,000 employees. Before working with WorkStride, its global workforce was largely left out of recognition programs because of high overseas shipping costs, limited currency support, and challenges controlling reward spend across multiple locations and managers.

WorkStride implemented a global recognition program with local-currency vouchers for international employees, retail value rewards for U.S.-based staff, HR system integrations, and budgeting tools for administrators. With WorkStride, the company expanded recognition to all global employees, cut U.S. rewards costs by more than 35%, and increased program usage by 40%, while also improving employee satisfaction and giving leaders better ROI-based reporting for spend decisions.
