Reward Gateway Unveils Top HR Priorities for 2019
According to the latest study from the global employee‑engagement powerhouse Reward Gateway, the biggest concerns of HR heads in 2019 are all about boosting productivity, keeping workers engaged, and making sure talent stays put.
Survey Highlights
- Increase Productivity: 32% of HR professionals say they’re all about squeezing more work out of the same hours.
- Boost Engagement: 28% argue that more plugged‑in teams win the day.
- Improve Retention: 17% believe keeping people happy means less turnover.
More than a single‑digit chunk of the workforce loves high‑speed acknowledgement—an astounding 86% of HR folks agreed that continuous employee recognition, powered by tech, is a game‑changer for engagement.
Remote Workforce Rising
HR’s jobs grow harder as teams splinter around the globe. ONS data confirms a steady climb of remote workers in the UK, while Google estimates that 3 billion people worldwide work off‑desk every single day across all industries.
Enter Connect+ – the First of Its Kind
In response, Reward Gateway introduced the Connect+ App, a mobile‑first, real‑time platform for instant employee recognition and messaging. It’s the industry’s first app designed specifically for a mash‑up of remote, hybrid and in‑office teams.
Rob Boland, Reward Gateway’s group director of product & client success, explains:
“The demand for mobile working keeps rising, and this research shows HR tech is a pivotal tool for engagement. That’s exactly why we birthed Connect+—to help businesses everywhere bring their teams together with real‑time communication and recognition, no matter where they’re working from.”
