DayMaker: Employee Recognition Program

Attract, engage, and retain the best employees by recognizing awesome work, rewarding victories, and celebrating anniversaries with our employee recognition program.

Make every moment count.

Employee recognition isn’t a one-time act. It shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions. If you really want to make a lasting impact, recognition should be used to reinforce key moments throughout an employee’s relationship with your brand, from the time they first apply for a job through referring your company as a great place to work.

DayMaker is our comprehensive employee recognition program, offering state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled support.

Using the principles of behavioural science, DayMaker brings your employee value proposition (EVP) to life in a fun, easy-to-use, employee-centric program. Here’s what DayMaker has to offer:
