Workhuman®, the world’s leading employee recognition provider, announces today that its platform now supports 8 million users across more than 180 countries and has delivered over 100 million moments of recognition to date. With a “thank you” message sent through its platform every two seconds, this continuous flow of appreciation underscores Workhuman’s leadership in employee recognition and rewards, helping organizations build more engaged and higher-performing workplace cultures.
“Our goal has always been to make work more human, and it’s inspiring to see that mission reach more than 8 million people,” said Eric Mosley, CEO of Workhuman. “This milestone reflects both the power of recognition to strengthen culture and our evolution to become not only a recognition platform, but an AI-driven recognition solution that helps leaders make smarter people decisions and build stronger cultures where everyone can thrive.”
For 25 years, Workhuman has partnered with the world’s most admired companies to deliver science-backed, peer-to-peer employee recognition at scale. Through its AI-powered platform, employees recognize and thank one another for great work, earning points that can be redeemed for merchandise, travel experiences, or charitable donations.
Workhuman customers have achieved measurable business impact, including:
- Improved performance: 54% of employees increased their performance rating after receiving 3+ awards.
- Improved new hire retention: employees are 5x more likely to stay through their first year.
- Reduced turnover: 66% lower turnover for employees who receive 3 awards a year.
$1 Billion Global E-Commerce Store
Workhuman’s 8 million users spend over $1B annually in one of the world’s largest corporate reward marketplaces. Owned and operated by Workhuman, the e-commerce store ranks among the top 30 global e-commerce retailers when benchmarked against public peers, with an order placed every 2.5 seconds and more than 12 million orders delivered each year.
A meaningful reward and redemption experience amplifies the impact of workplace recognition, as shown by the Workhuman Global Research Study: The Tangible Value of Appreciation. Employees having a very positive recognition and rewards experience are 2x as likely to feel motivated and 19x more likely to recommend their company as a great place to work. These findings highlight how a thoughtfully designed rewards experience becomes a strategic lever for culture, performance, and retention—not just a moment of appreciation.
“Unlike other recognition providers that use generic marketplaces, we run our store end-to-end, so we make the experience personal in every country we serve,” said Sarah Whitman, SVP at Workhuman. “When someone redeems an award in our store, it’s not just shopping, it’s giving a gift to a loved one, enjoying a special night out, exploring a new travel destination or simply trying something new. Those moments make recognition joyful, meaningful, and deeply personal. No other recognition platform offers this level of choice and personalization today.”
