As an Eminence Partner, Brandon Hall Group™ and Achievers are collaborating on a Bellwether Research Report, a study that explores critical trends and challenges in the recognition and rewards industry and will be released later this year.

“Employee engagement is a top priority for organizations, and at Brandon Hall Group™, we have seen a growing demand for guidance on trusted recognition and rewards platforms,” said Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer of Brandon Hall Group™. “Achievers has proven its ability to drive measurable business results through its platform, making it a natural fit to be selected as an Eminence Partner, as we help organizations identify the best solutions to meet their workforce needs.”
