The Right Stuff: Implementing a Truly Global Employee Recognition Program

In a concurrent workshop on Tuesday, April 29, at 1 p.m., Derek Irvine, Globoforce’s Vice President of Global Strategy, and Mary Kennett, Amgen’s Senior Manager of Human Resources, will discuss how a Fortune 500 company like Amgen – the largest biotechnology company in the world – orchestrated the successful conception, development, implementation and launch of its strategic employee recognition program.

Irvine’s presentation will outline the importance for today’s multinational corporations to explore and define their recognition ambition, the corporate standard for and five tenets of strategic recognition, and how strategic recognition can be leveraged to positively impact an organization’s employee engagement levels. Kennett will provide “real-world” examples during her presentation, highlighting how Amgen’s global employee recognition program is closely tied to the company’s values and leadership attributes.
