Consistently providing a stellar customer experience requires stamina. Markets, products, and expectations shift quickly, and retail workers must adapt on the fly. One consequence? Burnout. According to recent research by the O.C. Tanner Institute, 75% of retail workers report high levels of burnout—and this leads to challenges with retention, safety, and customer satisfaction.

The recognition solution

Only 55% of retail employees say recognition is part of their everyday work culture. But an integrated solution with recognition that's meaningful, specific, and frequent can help people leaders change this—and see real results.

When retail employees experience integrated recognition, the odds of several positive outcomes increase dramatically.

Interest in staying 2+ years: 7x

Sense of belonging: 16x

Fulfillment at work: 14x

High engagement: 12x

Thriving at work: 9x
