In a workplace where connection is eroding faster than engagement scores can track, belonging has become a business-critical priority, rather than a cultural nice-to-have. As teams grow more distributed and diverse, organisations are discovering that policies and programs alone cannot create community. What does make a measurable difference is how often employees see appreciation in action.

Insights from the O.C. Tanner 2026 Global Culture Report reveal that recognition, when openly shared, becomes a powerful social signal. 65% of employees feel inspired when they hear about the accomplishments of others, and employees are 2x as likely to try something new when they observe recognition being given. More importantly, teams are 11x more likely to be inclusive when recognition moments are frequently shared, demonstrating that visibility of appreciation shapes not just morale, but behaviour. Despite this evidence, many organisations still treat recognition as a private or episodic act.

This webinar will explore how organisations can move from individual recognition moments to shared experiences of appreciation that scale belonging across teams. Drawing on research-backed insights and real-world examples, the session will unpack how visible recognition fuels inspiration, strengthens inclusion, and builds resilient workplace communities, especially in today’s hybrid and fast-changing environments.
