Employee Recognition

Be Rewarded™
Employee Rewards
Empower employees to accumulate points through recognition, and redeem them in a way that fits their preferences. Be Rewarded is tailored to your company values and ranges from company merchandise to Amazon products to experiences and charitable donations. With Terryberry, you only pay when employees actually redeem, not when points are issued.
Be Well®
Employee Well-Being
Support the physical, mental, and workplace well-being of every employee with practitioner-led workshops, team step challenges, virtual maps, and a personalized wellness assessment. Be Well connects to most fitness wearables, and to Be Recognized, Be Rewarded, and Be Heard®.
Be Heard®
Employee Listening
Go beyond participation metrics to understand how employees actually feel. Be Heard’s researcher-developed survey templates are built on Terryberry’s six-pillar engagement model. Be Heard helps you track and connect employee sentiment, recognition data, wellness activity, and eNPS trends, to show you what is really driving engagement, not just who participated in a survey.

What Does Your Current Engagement Strategy Look Like?
Most organizations aren't starting from zero. They have recognition tools, a survey platform, maybe a wellness initiative in place. But those programs live in separate systems, are owned by different people, and are experienced unevenly across teams.
Every organization moves through five stages as its engagement program evolves, from ad hoc recognition to a culture where engagement is woven into your day-to-day work. Based on patterns Terryberry has observed across thousands of customers, our Engagement Maturity Map gives HR, Rewards, and People leaders an honest way to assess where they are, and figure out what comes next.
Ad hoc
Engagement exists in pockets, driven by individual managers with little visibility or coordination.
Programmed
Formal programs exist but operate independently and unevenly across the organization.
Connected
Care programs are established and partially integrated, with growing use of data to inform decisions.
Insight-Driven
Engagement strategy aligns clearly with business priorities, and leaders actively use insights to guide actions.
Embedded Culture
Engagement is woven into how work gets done, with continuous listening, recognition, and improvement.

People are more motivated when they feel trusted to make decisions, take ownership, and see the impact of their contributions.

Employee Engagement Program FAQs
Practical answers to the questions HR leaders ask most often when evaluating an employee engagement program.
What is an employee engagement program?
An employee engagement program is an ongoing strategic initiative designed to deepen employees' connection and commitment to the organization they work for. A comprehensive program includes recognition, rewards, well-being resources, employee listening, reporting and analytics, and leadership support—all working together rather than as isolated tools. The goal is not participation; it's measurable improvement in retention, performance, and cultural alignment.
How do you measure the ROI of an employee engagement program?
Most engagement programs measure participation: logins, recognition volume, survey completion rates. Those metrics tell you who used the tool. They don't tell you whether engagement actually improved. Terryberry measures ROI by connecting program activity to real outcomes—retention rates, eNPS, voluntary turnover, productivity—so you can show your leadership not just that employees are using the program, but that the investment is changing how they feel and how long they stay.
How is Terryberry different from other recognition platforms?
Three differences matter most. First, Terryberry sells an engagement program—your recognition, wellness, and listening tools are built to work together on one system. Second, Terryberry is the only recognition partner that pairs a SaaS platform with handcrafted symbolic awards, for the milestones your employees remember longest. Third, Terryberry's six-pillar engagement model is grounded in independent research across thousands of organizations. Fourth, we’re not just a software vendor. We partner with you every step of the way to ensure you’re getting the most from your program.
