Partnering with Globoforce gave us an easy way to measure our recognition program, plus the platform to create a global recognition strategy to continuously reinforce the performance and behaviors we wanted to see.

Symantec

Increased engagement

16% in less than a year

In just nine months with Globoforce, Symantec consolidated a “culture of cultures” into 1 culture of recognition for 18,500 employees in 50 countries.

CHALLENGE

Symantec developed a culture of many cultures after several acquisitions and rapid global growth. To create one culture, leadership needed to repurpose the company values and clearly articulate the business strategy.

SOLUTION

The “Applause” recognition program supports and reinforces Symantec’s goals and values, operating like a social network to spread goodwill across the company and help unify the workforce behind a shared culture and purpose.

RESULTS

Launched globally in just three months, Symantec saw 1,500 employees recognized in the first two weeks and nearly 40% of all employees recognized in the first five months, doubling recognition without increasing program budget.
