Using human-centred recognition to reinforce healthy behaviours, surface burnout signals and promote connection
Today’s organisations are demanding ever higher levels of performance while layering hybrid working, AI and constant change onto employees’ daytoday roles. This growing mismatch between rising expectations and inconsistent support is creating a hidden risk: burnout in the very cultures designed to perform. AI-anxiety, disengagement and unsustainable workloads are emerging as critical threats to both employee wellbeing and long-term business performance.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how employers can rebalance expectation and support by rethinking the role of recognition and using it as a powerful behaviour lever to promote sustainable ways of working, reinforcing positive habits and creating healthy boundaries. We’ll look at how employers are using recognition platform data to identify emerging pressure points, surface early warning signals and enable more proactive early intervention.
The panel will share practical examples of how recognition programmes and workforce data can be used to reduce burnout risk and protect healthy performance. Panelists will outline how to measure impact, track behavioural change and use recognition data as part of a broader approach to managing people risk and increasing engagement.
Key issues to be explored
• Spotting burnout early: What recognition and engagement data reveal and how to act on it
• Rewarding healthy behaviours: Designing recognition to promote boundaries, recovery and sustainable performance
• Balancing expectation with support: Aligning performance goals with tangible and visible employee support
• Driving inclusion through recognition: Reaching under-recognised groups and reducing bias in high-performing cultures
