The Solution
Rewardian partnered with SBHG to centralize and modernize its recognition programs through a flexible, gamified employee engagement platform.
The program used a Bingo-based system to encourage employees to complete actions aligned with key organizational goals, including recognition, wellness participation, training completion, and milestone celebrations.
As employees completed rows and patterns, they unlocked points and rewards, creating an interactive experience that encouraged ongoing participation.
The platform also supported a variety of recognition initiatives and provided a diverse rewards catalog, ensuring the experience remained flexible, inclusive, and meaningful for every employee.
