Reimaging Recognition: A Strategic Look at Workplace Recognition in Alberta 

This report is the outcome of a collaborative initiative between Vantage Circle, CPHR Alberta, CPHR Members and various organizations in the province aimed at understanding how Recognition & Rewards (R&R) Programs are currently being 

implemented across the province, and how these programs can evolve to meet the needs of a rapidly changing workforce. 


The impetus for this study emerged from a roundtable held in early 2024, where a group of CPHR executives and senior HR leaders from 

across Alberta came together to explore the state of recognition.

The result is a first-of-its-kind, Alberta-focused recognition benchmarking report. It offers clear insight into where organizations stand today, where the gaps lie, and how recognition can be transformed from a well-meaning gesture into a measurable driver of 

engagement, culture, and retention.
