Achievers Unveils Sophisticated Suite of Recognition Tools at UNLEASH America 2025 to Address the Manager Crisis
Article content Article content LAS VEGAS — Achievers, the world's most utilized recognition and reward software, kicks off the UNLEASH America 2025 conference with a new AI assistant, recognition toolkit and reward features – purpose-built to address the $438 billion management disengagement crisis. Article content 'Our research shows the foundation of great employee engagement is monthly, meaningful recognition from managers,' said Jordan Ekers, VP of Product Marketing and Commercial Strategy at Achievers. 'But with managers increasingly disengaged, their teams are going uncelebrated, and it's creating a crisis for workplace productivity and culture. It's critical we solve this, and in order to do so, we must provide managers with the tools they need to be great leaders and recognize behaviors effortlessly.' Article content The first solution available in Achievers' enhanced suite is the Manager Toolkit, a one-stop shop for meaningful recognition that is purpose-built for managers and people leaders. Article content Manager Toolkit provides in-depth insights into team engagement and recognition frequency, providing managers with clear, actionable information. These capabilities are critical – Achievers Workforce Institute (AWI) finds managers who recognize their teams monthly can double employee engagement rates. But with 75% of managers already stretched thin, managers need support in recognition tracking frequency. Manager Toolkit acts as an engagement coach, showing managers where their teams stand and guiding them to meet their goals. Article content Beyond this data, the toolkit includes tailored, to-do items that nudge managers to take meaningful steps – whether it's recognizing a team member, signing a celebration card, or boosting morale during a critical time. Each action is reinforced with science-backed guidance to help managers get closer to best practices and lead with greater confidence. Article content Arming Managers with Purchasing Power to Reward the Moments that Matter Article content AWI research finds the most effective recognition programs prioritize meaningful, personalized rewards at scale. Yet many managers face a common roadblock: when they go to celebrate a team member's great work with monetary recognition, all too often, they discover they lack the rewards points needed to do so. Historically, these managers would need to secure the right budget approvals to get more points. Because recognition is most powerful when delivered in the moment, such delays can diminish its impact. Article content To eliminate this friction, Achievers is introducing Purchase Points, a new feature that allows managers to buy additional recognition points instantly via credit card or invoice. This empowers leaders to recognize on demand, within their own limits, helping organizations sustain a vibrant, rewarding culture without bottlenecks. Article content The ability to recognize is an essential soft skill for anyone managing a team, yet only 34% of managers believe they're effective at positive reinforcement, and less than a third of employees say their managers are good at recognizing them. To help close this gap, Achievers is introducing a new AI-powered Recognition Assistant designed to help managers write impactful recognitions based on science-backed best practices. This tool embeds into employees' daily workflow through popular collaboration platforms, allowing the AI assistant to draw context from meetings, messages, and documents, suggest relevant recognition moments, and offer guidance to make every message count. The AI-driven Recognition Assistant will be available for demo onsite at UNLEASH America 2025, with broader capabilities rolling out over the next year. Article content 'We're committed to helping organizations build resilient cultures through smarter recognition, and that starts at the manager level,' added Ekers. 'That's why we're equipping people leaders with new tools that enhance how they recognize their teams, measure what matters, and reinforce positive behaviors with meaningful rewards. These innovations are grounded in workforce science and will work together to make managers more empowered, effective, and trustworthy, at a time when organizations need great leaders the most.' Article content For more insights about how Achievers' revamped recognition and rewards platform is building strong managers, visit the Achievers booth #411 at UNLEASH America 2025, book a demo, or attend Ekers' session on Stage 1 at UNLEASH America 2025, taking place at 12:20 PM PT on May 8.

From Building Robots to Solving Challenges: A Student's Journey From Curiosity to a STEM-Driven Future
Verizon At just 16 years old, Miles Davis, a high-school senior from Washington, D.C., is already charting a path towards a STEM career. Growing up, Davis showed signs of being a strategic thinker: he was a serious chess player with an early love of technology. Davis and his brother used to build robots from kits as young kids. 'I was just so curious about, 'how does it move, how does it work?'' Davis says. 'How does it know which way is left and right?' But Davis's enthusiasm for computer science truly blossomed after he attended Verizon Innovative Learning STEM Achievers at Howard University in 2018 and University of the District of Columbia (UDC) in 2019, when he was a middle school student. Right away, Davis says, he was hooked by the program's curriculum — and his first chance to wear a virtual reality (VR) headset. 'I saw robots, I saw VR goggles, and I saw everyone having fun, everyone learning,' he says. Davis had hands-on experience with emerging technologies combined with the opportunity to apply them in solving real-world problems. From developing medical wearables that transmit vital health information in emergencies, to creating practical solutions for addressing climate change, the students collaborated to tackle urgent global challenges—an experience that profoundly shaped Davis's vision for his future. 'I had never really thought about solving real-world problems,' Davis reflects. 'I was focused on building robots or creating machines, but I didn't fully grasp the bigger picture until I joined this program.' The Howard University program, run by Dr. Kofi LeNiles, combines the tech-based, hands-on learning of the Verizon Innovative Learning program with university-specific values, with an aim of not just teaching tech, but also creating bonds between the students. 'What makes this program at Howard unique is that we not only focus on the excellent STEM curriculum that Verizon provides, but we also focus on community,' LeNiles explains. By transforming competition into teamwork, the program teaches valuable lessons. 'My biggest takeaway from the Verizon Innovative Learning program was how teamwork can solve issues,' Davis explains. 'We really got together and put our ideas together and… wrote it down and started brainstorming; we came up with some really good ideas.' As a graduating high school senior, Davis is already focused on potential possibilities for his future. 'My interest in STEM got me thinking about solving problems… and I feel like it really contributed to my future interest, because everything I do is about solving a problem or fulfilling a need,' he says. Davis has plenty to keep him busy: he is already an entrepreneur with his own clothing line and plans to go to college and pursue electrical contracting as a trade. Verizon Innovative Learning is a key part of the company's responsible business plan to help move the world forward for all. As part of the plan, Verizon has an ambitious goal of providing 10 million youth with digital skills training by 2030. Educators can access free lessons, professional development, and immersive learning experiences to help bring new ways of learning into the classroom by visiting Verizon Innovative Learning HQ.
