All organizations struggle with gaining the proper usage of their online programs. It could be HR programs related to benefits or health and well-being, collaborative software tools, or online learning libraries and learning management systems.

Isn’t it about time you
incorporated video into your recognition programs? After all, everybody else
seems to be doing so.

this when he said, “Video is a critical part of the future. It’s what our
community wants, and as long as we can make it social, I think it will end up
being a large part of our business as well.”

If you want to convince senior leaders of the importance and power of employee recognition, then seriously consider video recording recognition impact statements from your employees.
