At our Breakthrough Awards Dinner, we were honored to have Hunter Woodhall and Tara Davis-Woodhall share their incredible journey with our audience. Their words on resilience, perseverance, and learning from setbacks were nothing short of inspiring. As Hunter put it: "You either win or you learn." He talked about overcoming the fear of failure, saying: "We’re so scared of what’s going to happen if I don’t get the results I want or if I don’t succeed the way I want. And then you get to the other side, and realize things are still going on and that was just a moment in time.” Their energy and passion resonated deeply with everyone in the room, but the highlight of the evening came when Hunter surprised his mom by presenting her with the Olympic Inspiration Pin. It was a heartfelt and unforgettable moment that captured the spirit of recognition and gratitude we hold so dear. And let’s not forget the energy Tara brought when she led us in her famous pre-race routine with her iconic clap! 👏 The whole room felt her excitement and enthusiasm. And to top it off, we had the incredible honor of presenting Hunter and Tara with their 2024 Olympic rings, making them the first Olympians to receive them—created by O.C. Tanner. 💍✨ We’re beyond grateful to the Woodhalls for sharing their stories, passion, and heart with us. This evening was truly one for the books. #Greatness24 #Olympians

Employee well-being is no longer just a nice-to-have—it’s a business priority. With rising burnout and mental health concerns, companies are turning to HR tech solutions that integrate well-being programs with recognition platforms. This is because feeling appreciated is directly tied to emotional well-being. When employees are recognized for their efforts, they feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. 🌟 Meaningful recognition doesn’t just boost morale—it reduces stress, strengthens connection, and contributes to a healthier, happier workplace. 💡 How is your organization prioritizing well-being?

🌟 An Amazing Trip to O.C. Tanner HQ 🌟 I just got back from an incredible visit to our O.C. Tanner headquarters, where I had the chance to explore the stunning office, impressive awards production facilities, the O.C. Tanner jewellery store building and learn more about our company's near 100-year history! 📽 It was a wonderful experience meeting members of the executive leadership team, representatives from our O.C. Tanner Institute, and colleagues from all over the world in person, and being able to learn and have fun together. And not forgetting the fun time shopping, eating, and experiencing a bit of snow along the way too! 🛒🧆❄ The best part of the trip? Learning about all the exciting moments and innovations we'll be bringing to our clients. The passion and dedication of our O.C.
