About the Recognition Insights Founder: Ben Pratt
Ben managed rewards and recognition for a large financial services firm for over a decade. During this time, he became obsessed with his work, passionately learning everything he could about the industry, best practices, and the significant impact rewards and recognition have on companies. Through his research, as well as seeing the actual outcomes achieved at his firm, it was clear that when done correctly, these programs are extremely effective.
Ben also learned that many companies lack a viable strategy for their rewards and recognition practices. This is not necessarily because they dismiss celebrating the accomplishments of their employees. Rather, they are either unaware of how to develop and run impactful programs, or they do not have the bandwidth to do so. “Recognition is not my day job”, said basically everyone Ben interacted with. In his role, Ben was fortunate to be able to focus on managing rewards and recognition efforts, which is rare in today’s HR environment.
With this in mind, Ben decided to start Recognition Insights to help business owners, leaders and HR teams develop and implement a successful recognition strategy, enabling their employees and company to thrive. A culture that supports and encourages appreciation creates happier employees, which leads to more satisfied customers, and ultimately results in positive business outcomes.
While receiving an MBA from Babson College and earning an undergraduate degree in Economics at Colby College, Ben developed a strong understanding of business finance and behavioral economics. He has worked for a diverse group of small to large companies over his career, so he can appreciate how cultures can vary greatly. The Recognition Insights approach is customized, and all recommendations are uniquely tailored to solve your business challenges.
Based on Ben’s work experience and years of research on rewards and recognition, he knows how to best use these practices to drive positive outcomes. Please reach out if you would like to learn more, info@recognitioninsights.com, or book an introductory conversation below.
