Foundever’s Annual Employee Sentiment survey made one thing clear: employees wanted more consistent recognition for their hard work and commitment, and their HR Pros listened! Here’s where Coupa jumped in and connected our teams. With Gifted directly integrated with Coupa, it was so easy to begin this beautiful partnership around employee appreciation and recognition while keeping everything in the system they already trusted.
Before Gifted, recognition took more manual work and coordination than it should, and involved several vendors that created extra moving pieces for the team running the program making it harder to maintain consistency.
Foundever wanted a recognition program that could run reliably without requiring constant tracking and follow-up behind the scenes. With less time spent coordinating, the team could focus on delivering a better employee experience instead of chasing logistics. The question was how to make recognition easier to manage without losing what makes it feel personal.
Appreciation should be seamless and easy! Because of this shared mindset, Gifted became Foundever’s go-to place to run recognition programs. They launched five different recognition programs, and our team was right there supporting every one of them.
Foundever maximized the benefits of a fully integrated recognition platform and a partner to think alongside them. We helped shape the programs, pressure-test what’s realistic, and stay with them as they added more over time.
Automation is what kept this from becoming a manual grind, which is why Foundever called it the most useful part of Gifted. It stripped out a ton of the manual effort and made it realistic to run the kind of recognition program their people were asking for.
This is the part we love sharing! The best proof is always the notes people send after.
Foundever’s takeaway: you don’t have to compromise your sanity to knock recognition out of the park, and you definitely don’t have to do it alone. Foundever launched five programs in a year with Gifted supporting every step, and you can do it too!
If your team already uses Coupa Punchout, don’t make recognition the one thing that lives outside your workflow. Punchout keeps you streamlined, and Gifted takes care of the rest so you can focus on running your programs.
