Limeade Announces Strategic Partnership with Achievers

Bellevue, Wash., Feb. 01, 2018 -- Today employee well-being and engagement leader Limeade and employee rewards and recognition solution provider Achievers announced their partnership. Together, the two companies will offer a seamless, simplified employee experience across their employee engagement programs.

Limeade and Achievers create a connected employee engagement experience

“Companies that provide an exceptional employee experience will outperform their competitors,“ said Madeline Laurano of Aptitude Research Partners. “This partnership across two leading HR solutions gives companies the advantage of a seamless and engaging experience.”

"We're excited that our new Limeade well-being program is able to connect to the recognition program from Achievers that our employees already actively use," said  Megan Lee, Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer of Newark, NJ-based Panasonic Corporation of North America. "It's great that these programs can work together, and reinforce each other to help us deliver a positive experience to our employees.”

A connected experience
Rooted in the shared belief that great companies invest in their people, the partnership creates a new, integrated experience that offers:

• Automatic rewards: Program rewards earned on the Limeade platform will automatically appear in Achievers as an “achievement”
  
  
• Seamless integration: Simple single-sign on with mobile-optimized technology and user interface makes it easy for employees to find and access both programs
  
  
• Simple program administration: Easier administration of Limeade and Achievers programs with one consolidated rewards budget

“Recognition is indisputably a strong driver of employee engagement and better business outcomes. It’s also crucial to workforce retention and performance. According to an analysis by Gallup, employees who do not feel adequately recognized are twice as likely to quit. Plus, more than 80 percent of employees included in the analysis say recognition motivates work performance,” said Egan Cheung, vice president of product at Achievers.

“Achievers and Limeade share a mission to increase employee engagement and drive business results,” said Eric Ranta, vice president of partnerships at Limeade. “Limeade research shows that employees are 38 percent more engaged and 18 percent more likely to go the extra mile when they feel their employers care about their well-being. We believe that a partnership with Achievers will enable organizations to effectively invest in their people and drive real, lasting business results.”
