Why Does Recognition Matter?

While our products and offerings have transformed in the last 78 years, our purpose remains the same: to support the Ontario Public Service (OPS), Broader Public Sector (BPS), agencies, and ministries by celebrating their most valuable resource - their workers.

In our 2024 Survey, more than 65% of surveyed BPS employees say that recognition is a service they value highly…and that proper recognition of their work is one of the most motivating factors in employee retention. But what exactly should employers be offering recognition for? more

The Most Meaningful Recognition Starts
Long Before the Award

Recognition isn’t just about plaques or pins. It’s about creating a
workplace climate that helps employees succeed every day. 

That’s where the Situational Outlook Questionnaire (SOQ) comes in.
SOQ is the only scientifically validated tool that measures and improves the nine key dimensions of workplace climate that drive:
- Innovation and initiative 
- Collaboration and trust 
- Motivation and retention
