Innovation is key to success in any industry, more so for tech. However,
tech companies are facing a big challenge: high employee turnover.
Despite the dynamics of a workplace filled with talented people, a
surprising 67% of Americans feel appreciation at work is in short supply,
according to a Blue Board study. This gap often results in low morale,
reduced productivity, and eventually, a higher attrition rate.
For tech companies striving to retain their best talent is a critical problem.
Let's look at how Grace, the HR Manager at a rapidly growing tech firm,
tackled the issue of declining employee morale and turned things around.
The Impact of Performance Reviews on Employee Engagement
The tech teams were full of young talents bustling with energy, crafting
smart solutions, helping the company grow everyday.
Like any experienced HR manager, Grace stayed in tune with her team,
but during the company's annual performance reviews, she stumbled
across something alarming. As she sifted through feedback, a troubling
pattern emerged—many of her top-performing employees were feeling
ignored, unappreciated, and frustrated.
The real gut-punch came when one of her best employees, someone who
had just led a critical project to a successful completion, confided in her: "I
put in countless hours, and it feels like no one even noticed."
It hit Grace hard. This wasn’t just an isolated complaint—it was a symptom
of a much larger problem. She knew that recognition was key to keeping
employees engaged and motivated.
If she didn’t act quickly, the company could risk losing some of its most
talented people.
But finding a solution that wouldn’t disrupt her team’s already-packed
schedule felt like a monumental task.
The thought of introducing a new system that required extra training and
added complexity worried her. She feared the team might push back
against the change, and the chance to rebuild trust and morale would be
lost.
Finding the Right Solution: Grace’s Journey to Discovering
Pravici
Determined to turn things around, Grace began to look for solutions that
would address these issues head-on.
She discovered Pravici, a SaaS-based rewards and recognition platform in
a LinkedIn group of HR professionals.
She learned about its seamless integration with collaboration tools like
Slack and Microsoft Teams. The idea of enabling peer-to-peer recognition
within the platforms her team already uses excited her.
Grace scheduled a demo with Pravici and pitched the program to her top
management and gained approval for its implementation.
She introduces the program to her team during a virtual meeting on
Microsoft Teams. As she shared the features of the platform, including the
ability to send recognition messages and redeem rewards through e-gift
cards, she noticed a spark of interest among her colleagues.
Within days, Slack channels started buzzing with messages of
appreciation, and employees started recognizing each other's efforts and
Celebrating milestones.
The atmosphere in the office begins to shift. The integration of Pravici's
platform transformed the way her team interacted, fostering a culture of
recognition that was previously lacking.
Apart from employee collaboration, Pravici RnR platform also offers:
Comprehensive Recognition & Rewards: Streamlines entire recognition
and rewards process, allowing employees to earn and redeem points
effortlessly across a diverse merchant network.

Ease of Award Redemption: Employees can redeem rewards at over 200

Making Recognition Part of Daily Workflow: Ensuring Employees Feel Valued
As the weeks go by, Grace observes Employee morale has increased, and
productivity levels have increased.
The once-quiet Slack channels are now filled with messages of gratitude
and encouragement. Pravici's integration with Slack and Microsoft Teams
has not only improved employee engagement but has also reduced
turnover rates.
Grace feels a sense of accomplishment, knowing that she has played a
pivotal role in creating a more positive work environment.
