Sparks: How Recognition Shows Your Real Culture Beyond Engagement Scores

Sparks: How Recognition Shows Your Real Culture Beyond Engagement Scores

Most leaders manage culture with dashboards that measure what's easy, not what's true. In this episode of Leadership Spark, KeyAnna Schmiedl, Chief Human Experience Officer at Workhuman, challenges leaders to stop relying on outdated engagement scores and start looking at what really drives culture: recognition. She explains why traditional HR data misses the lived employee experience and how recognition moments reveal the hidden influencers, team dynamics, and unspoken values shaping your organization every day. KeyAnna unpacks how recognition isn't just a feel-good perk, but a source of human intelligence that shows who's thriving, who's struggling, and where your culture is strongest or weakest. Learn how to stop leading with rear-view metrics and start using recognition data to shape your culture in real time.

It's how you spot burnout before it leads to turnover. Or discover hidden strengths before they're overlooked. It's how you build a culture that's not only productive—but sustainable. That's what future-ready leadership looks like.
