What’s really happening with recognition in 2026?

We brought together HR Directors from across sectors, including the NHS, financial services, and multinational firms, for a closed-door roundtable on employee recognition and engagement. The result is an honest, practical report that cuts through best practice theory to explore the lived reality.

Inside, you’ll find seven key themes that emerged from the discussion, grounded in recent research from Deloitte, the University of Waterloo, and the Rotman School of Management. From making the ROI case to your CFO, to why more recognition isn’t always better, to the outsized role of line managers, this report covers what’s working, what’s backfiring, and where organisations should focus their attention.
